Texas GOP Defeats Resolution to Honor Late Planned Parenthood President Cecile RichardsKatherine Hamilton 18 Apr 2025
Texas Republicans blocked an attempt from Democrats on Thursday to honor late former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who passed away in January at the age of 67 after battling brain cancer, the Texas Tribune reported.
Democrat state Rep. Donna Howard proposed a resolution to honor Richards, and it was reportedly tucked in a slate of other memorials, including for U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2024, and Corey Comperatore, a Pennsylvania father who was shot and killed during the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July of 2024.
