Cecile Richards, former Planned Parenthood president and feminist activist, has died of an aggressive brain cancer at age 67. She entered politics as a teenager, working on a campaign to elect Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who fought Texas' abortion ban in Roe v. Wade, to the state legislature. She continued to work as an activist and reproductive rights advocate all her life, most recently helping launch a chatbot that provided information about where and how people could terminate their pregnancies. Here's @19thnews's tribute to her.
