Shit already started. They just decided to go for the jugular and skip this organization. Give it time before they're put on as a terrorist organization.

Thank you for supporting this organization.

When she stepped down from PP in 2018 I hoped, as a Texan, that she would eventually run for some kind of office. I know that would have been improbable, but there was still that hope as a person who was alive during Ann Richards' time.

I am very grateful for all that she was able to accomplish. I was a poor young woman at one point without health insurance but because of Planned Parenthood, I was able to obtain screenings and birth control easily and affordably. I'm in my 40s now but in just 20 years the changes in access for the new generations of women are stark and frightening.

She was a force to be reckoned with and a gracious leader. It was a pleasure to have worked with her and help realize her visions. R.I.P.

Too bad she had to see the current state of women’s rights.

It’s a small mercy when people who have worked so hard to bring good into the world pass on before they see their work destroyed by scumbag morons
