President Joe Biden this week awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from pro-life advocates. After a ceremony at the White House on Wednesday, November 20, Biden commended Richards, who was the organization’s president from 2006 to 2018, as a leader of “absolute courage.” He stated in a post on X that she “fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom.” In the post on X, he also said, “Through her work to lift up the dignity of...

Cecile Richards’s editorial in the June 13th Los Angeles Times is indicative of the inaccuracies propagated by Planned Parenthood, the organization she led for 12 years.Richards is dismayed with what she calls Arkansas’s effort to “ban medication abortion.” It was no ban. Participants in the abortion industry are free to prescribe the chemical abortion pills provided they have a basic safety standard in place for women – that is, a contract with another physician who can facilitate an emergency hospital treatment should the need arise. And it does.Richards called chemical abortion “safer than Tylenol and Viagra” and railed against state legislators in...

For the second time in two months, the outgoing president of the Planned Parenthood abortion business has said that Christian doctors and nurses ought to be forced to perform abortions. Last month, Cecile Richards sent an email to supporters of the Planned Parenthood abortion company asking them to contact the Department of Health and Human Services to reject proposed guidelines protecting the conscience rights of medical professionals who don’t want to be forced to be involved in abortions by either killing unborn children or referring patients for abortions. Without such conscience protections, pro-life doctors, Christian medical workers, and others who...

Fresh from saying pro-life presidential candidate Ted Cruz is the “biggest threat” to her abortion business, now Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards is employing sexist attacks on Cruz to attempt to get women not to support him. “A woman voting for Ted Cruz is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders,” Richards said during a rally for Hillary Clinton.

Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards has become a favorite for liberal news outlet interviews lately. These saccharine interviews probably would better be described as flattering free advertisements for the abortion business. They are clearly the pro-abortion media’s reaction to the public outrage over the abortion business whose employees have been caught in a series of undercover videos discussing the sale of aborted babies body parts. Richards’ latest appearance was with Interview Magazine. Laverne Cox, who plays a character on the TV show Orange Is the New Black, conducted the interview. Cox practically fawned over Richards throughout the piece, asking friendly...

There was just a great moment at the House hearing gong on right now where Cecile Richards was forced to admit under questioning from Rep. Cynthia Lummins (R, WY) that although abortions only account for 3% of Planned Parenthood’s total procedures, abortions account for 86% of Planned Parenthood’s revenues:

CNSNews.com) – At an invitation-only press conference on Tuesday at the National Press Club, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told hand-picked reporters that her organization takes pride in the millions of abortions done at its affiliated clinics around the United States. “We proudly provide safe and legal abortion,” Richards said at the event. As CNSNews.com reported earlier, Planned Parenthood clinics did 327,653 abortions in its fiscal year 2014 (which ran from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014), according to Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s latest annual report. That works out to an average of 37 abortions per hour or...
