The Nation profile on Cecile Richards was fascinating — I had no idea she was responsible for all the great information on Planned Parenthood’s website, which is always the first place I visit when I’m writing about STIs, or the first place I refer people to when answering their sexual-health questions. Such a fantastic resource, and one of many reasons why she’s been such a successful leader for the organization. Now I’m sort of jealous of the people who will get to see her speak at the luncheons next week. 😉
