Former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards dies of brain cancer 

Former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards died Jan. 20 after battling an aggressive form of brain cancer. She was 67.

Pro-life leaders, including Lila Rose and Jeanne Mancini, expressed prayers that God would have mercy on her soul.

Troy Newman, who serves as the president of Operation Rescue and lost an $18 million lawsuit to Richards and Planned Parenthood, also called for forgiveness.

“My faith calls me to extend grace even to those who persecuted me,” he wrote. “I pray she came to know Jesus Christ as her Savior and that her soul finds rest. ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,’ (Matthew 5:44).”

He continued, “While we mourn her passing, we must not lose sight of the continued injustice against the unborn children. The exploitation and destruction of innocent human life are evils that must end. Let this serve as a renewed call to action to defend the dignity of every life and to fight for a world where such atrocities are no longer tolerated.”

LifeNews reports that Richards led Planned Parenthood from 2006-2018. During that time, Planned Parenthood killed approximately 4 million babies in abortions.

The outlet also states that Richards increased the number of abortions by approximately 70,000 per year, as Planned Parenthood’s non-abortion services declined.
