Death Merchant Cecile Richards Steps Down from Planned Parenthood
It has been reported that Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood will be stepping down from her position. She leaves a gruesome legacy:
During Richards’ tenure as president, Planned Parenthood increased the number of abortions performed each year by more than 10 percent. In 2006, Planned Parenthood performed 289,750 abortions. In the 2016-2017 report, that number had grown to 321,384.
On average, Planned Parenthood carried out 320,000 abortions each year during Richards’ tenure.
Despite increasing the number of abortions during her time as president, the overall number of patients treated by Planned Parenthood fell. In 2006, Planned Parenthood treated 3.1 million people. In 2016, that number had dropped to 2.4 million, yet the amount of federal funding received by Planned Parenthood had increased by over $200 million.
Yet our former President Barack Obama heaped praise upon her for the “remarkable work” that she did day in and day out and how grateful he was to her:
That work has been especially bloody in the black community, which came out in droves to twice elect our first black president, who served the abortion beast so diligently. For 45 years, a disproportionate number of Planned Parenthood clinics have been posted near black neighborhoods, and for 45 years a disproportionate number of unborn African-American babies have been legally stabbed, shredded, ripped, and obliterated in the name of “women’s health.”
In retrospect, it seems almost a cruel joke that Planned Parenthood in 1966 bestowed its first annual “Margaret Sanger Award” — its highest honor — on Martin Luther King Jr., before more recently conferring it on such proud recipients as Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, the latter of whom gushed that she is in “awe” of Sanger, a racial eugenicist who championed a “Negro Project” and in May 1926 spoke to the Silverlake, New Jersey women’s chapter of the KKK.
None of that seemed to bother Barack Obama in April 2013, nor did it deter Cecile Richards in her “great, great job,” which she performed at a nifty salary of $600,000per year.
Abortion is the human and civil rights issue of our day. We won’t fix any of the problems in our country that tear us apart until we fix this one. Maybe this is a start. We can pray for that.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Well, she is Ann Richards’ (anti-gun, anti-male, pro-Feds) daughter and came out of the same viper’s nest known as Travis County.
How do these people sleep at night?
I think this is the reason they get so angry about it, the reason they’ve gone from “Safe, legal, and rare,” to “Without apology,” the reason they insist that it remain completely unregulated up to the moment of birth. Deep down inside they know what the stakes are if they’re wrong, and so they have to do whatever they can to prevent any doubt at all from taking hold, not just in the public but in themselves. It’s no coincidence that as science continues to prove what Christians have known all along, abortion advocates have responded by becoming more extreme.
On his podcast yesterday, Michael Knowles did a superb job of detailing the horror show that is Cecile Richards. It really is mind-boggling that the Democrat party is so beholden to PP and abortion.
I didn’t know that! What a revealing past!
This also prompted me to visit Wikipedia for her bio.
Dems. Cradle to the grave benefits provided you make it out of the womb.
I’m glad this post went up front. The lady is a killer of the innocent. Shame on her.
If I’m remembering correctly, Obama said something to the effect of God bless Cecile Richards for what she does, which was one of the most appalling, heretical things to come out of his mouth. Death merchant is a good name for her. Queen of the Human Butchers is how I have tended to think of her. Good riddance.
Planned Parenthood and it’s eugenic ideals date back to Theoginis a Greek poet from around the 6th century BC.
Nietzsche was a student of the Greek poets, and adopted the nihilism of Theoginis. Darwin, although not a proponent of eugenic solutions, such as euthanasia, did agree with eugenic theory. Margaret Sanger in all likelihood was not aware of the pedigree of her ideas, although she was much admired by the Nazi’s for her views on eugenics.

By the way @scottwilmot thank you for a great post. The measure of man is not intellect, it is compassion for the weak and helpless. Whether one is a mechanic, or a theologian does not matter. Compassion transcends the greatest, or the lowest of occupations, and intellect.
I was not familiar with this site – thanks for sharing.
Not wanting to be outdone for praising evil, Herself tweets her glowing admiration for the Death Merchant.
These people have no shame.
Thanks Doug. Nothing in my post is original – I wanted to share the great writing of Paul Kengor and CNA so that we never forget the horror that occurs daily in this country. The numbers are staggering, yet so many see the murder of babies as a “reproductive right”.
May we continue to fight this abomination and never weary or rest.
May God have mercy on us for allowing this to continue.
Well, the Death Merchant had previously been Nancy Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff, her husband is a “labor organizer” for SEIU, her eldest was a communications adviser for Hillary’s Presidential campaign: So, no surprise.
I’ve come to view kindness as the greatest of human virtues.
Abortion is the greatest disconnect of a doctor to his very soul, and I have severe disrespect for the ones who perform the act, especially the ones who get rich doing it.
I can’t think of any greater unkindness than baby killing. I didn’t always feel this way but life teaches.
Life teaches. Yes. But some, like Cecile Richards, learned a quite different lesson.
Begs a question, doesn’t it? One thing I know, it has nothing to do with smarts or upbringing.
Ms. Richards helps to define clueless as she crows about “the life-changing and life-saving work of Planned Parenthood.”
It looks like you have to have iTunes to listen. I refuse to have anything to do with Apple. I guess I’m out of luck.
Think of all of the overhead Planned Parenthood has to cover every month. Gee, how did it come to this?
Over 3.5 million
servedslaughtered during her tenure. I guess her work here is done.Yes, well she permanently changed the lives of 300k children per year.
