After Cecile Richards announced her departure from Planned Parenthood, where she served as president for 12 years, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue issued the following statement:
“I’ve had the privilege of working side by side with my fellow Texan, Cecile Richards, over the last five years at NARAL. She has not only been a great institutional partner, who has inspired me for years—she’s a supportive and reliable friend who was there for me as I began my own journey in our beautiful movement for women’s rights. These jobs are hard, and Cecile is grace under pressure, infinitely compassionate, and a smart organizer who has harnessed our movement’s power into an unstoppable force through good times and bad. Her dedication to women, families, and our country is unwavering, and I know she’ll keep fighting for all of us.”
