She was so strong in her fight for women. Such a loss. 😟

Valiant woman, she deserves to be mourned. She couldn't live with a felonious dictator in the white house

Rest in Power Cecile

syph spirochetes eating away at his brain will attack it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

released several months ago showed her standing, but being supported by people on each side of her.

I hate this news, but glad she won't have to suffer through the new administration. I hope she reunited with other loved ones who have passed away.

I remember her from her days with the Texas Freedom Network.

Trump will say something obnoxious about this I am sure. Give us pink-hatters another reason to organize and RESIST!!

My heart is broken enough as it is. 😭

A great loss for the world.

The best compliment I received in the past 20 years was from her, she tried to recruit me to come out of retirement and work for Planned Parenthood with her and Cecile. The complement was that I reminded her a lot of Cecile in many ways, including very passionate and committed to liberal causes and women's health!

My BFF died Thanksgiving before last, I will never get over that sadness. she was a sister to me for over 55 years! So sad her mentor is now gone too.

❤️

I know what you mean. Last Feb a close friend who I knew for almost 60 years passed. It was a big loss as we shared so many memories together. We had a phone call every week right up to the end. Miss that call.

Peace be to you.

May her friends, family, and dog Ollie find grace.

She voted for Harris and Walz and then gave a speech @ the DNC as she
was dying from brain cancer. Real Courage.

nearly the end. What strength of purpose! What a role model.

I'm beside myself even though I knew she had a terminal form of brain cancer. May her spirit live in all the women fighting to make things better in this country. I will never forget her, nor her mother who likewise had the force of conviction (and a humorous edge) that gave us all a sense that we could prevail.

Cecile will not be forgotten. That lump in my throat and sense of loss (and what ifs) is evidence of that.

Every time I saw her on TV I was so impressed by her ability to project the wonderful sense of purpose for helping women and her calmness but toughness. She will be missed terribly......such an outstanding human being and I pray she did not have too much suffering. RIP Cecile with your wonderful mother!

Such a dynamic woman. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

She’s not only finally free of this mortal coil, she’ll never have had to suffer through that Orange Nightmare becoming President again. And there’s nothing that vindictive piece of shit can do to hurt her.

She’s untouchable now.

Thank you for YOUR service, dear lady.

I had a friend who worked in a hospice.
And she said people often time the exact time of death when they are close to dying.
Wait until a relative leaves or comes to the room.
Or right after their birthday, etc.

Texas hasn't been healthy for brilliant women. RIP.

Cecile and her mother Ann worked so hard to make Tejas a better place. I greatly appreciate their struggle and sacrifice.

Rest in Peace.

R.I.P.

I know she was trying to fight to the end.

R.I.P. and she joins her fabulous mother in spirit to keep the fight alive.

May her legacy live on.

Yet these evil ones like the one I won't name still linger giving us hell? Maybe Satan wants them to do the dirty work?

May she rest in peace.

in his realm. . says they would give the place a bad name. He does have standards.

I'll remember her death on MLK Day. Another lion's voice is quiet, but never silenced.

The last time I seen her on TV, she didn't look well at all. This explains why. I didn't know of her brain cancer.
Rest in peace, Cecile. You did really good. You go on now and find your sweet Momma up there and give her
a big hug from all of us down here. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

God bless and keep Cecile Richards, for all her good works.

I am so sorry to hear this.

Rest in Power, Cecile. You fought the good fight.

Healing to Ollie & her friends & family.

Only sadness.

Cross gently, Cecile.

I hope she’s with her wonderful mama.

They are unique, and completely irreplaceable.

It's good her suffering is finished, at least.

She was a leader in a world which needs her wisdom and goodness.

Fight for what she believed in: safe medical care for people.

..... headlines, if only briefly, depriving Djt of that headline space.

I also think she was looking back on her "ascension" to cast a last-minute middle finger at MAGA and its leader because she was a fighter to the end.

John 3:16

just like your mom

It's a time when her intelligence, energy, and voice are so necessary.

Cecile was a true American hero, devoting her whole life to make ours better.

I'll miss her.



I can't believe this was almost ten years ago!

This is very sad news. RIP Great Lady

Actually, 2025 has sucked a lot already.

no idea she was ill. Thinking back though, I don’t remember seeing her campaign for Harris, which I think she would do.

Rotten news. I knew she was sick, but hoping against hope that she had more time with us.
R I P

This makes me unspeakably sad.

And it’s just another reminder of the injustice of this world. That orange shit stain still breathes, and this good woman who gave her life in service to others is gone.

Her timing was impeccable. I envy her.

But also a big, ballsy F-U to trump. Thanks for everything, Cecile. 💙
