In a secret ceremony, President Biden awarded Cecile Richards the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for excessively running Planned Parenthood for 12 years, reports LifeNews.com.
Media Response
The Washington Times remarked,
The ceremony was not listed on Mr. Biden’s public schedule, nor was his decision to award the medal to Ms. Richards publicly announced until after the presentation. Members of the media were not invited to watch the ceremony [1].
Her Role
Under her leadership, Planned Parenthood pushed abortion on demand during all nine months of pregnancy, even beyond. She oversaw the systematic murders of 1.5 million pre-born babies every year.
President Biden lauded called Cecile Richards as
a leader of the utmost character [2].
He continued,
With absolute courage and conviction, Cecile Richards fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom [3].
Pro=Life response
Emily Erin Davis, vice president of communication for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said,
Under Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood ended more than 3.8 million unborn lives and was caught harvesting baby body parts for sale. Where is the ‘freedom’ for babies and moms? It’s time to end Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer-funded ride [4].
Incidentally, Medal of Freedom presentations usually are not private.
