Editor’s Note: This interview, which first appeared in our January/February 2025 print issue, was originally scheduled to publish online later this month. On January 20, the news broke that Cecile Richards, 67, had died.
“This morning our beloved Cecile passed away at home, surrounded by her family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie,” said her family in a statement. “Our hearts are broken today but no words can do justice to the joy she brought to our lives.”
Praise from the forces of progress in Texas poured in immediately.
