Cecile Richards, the former Planned Parenthood chief, disclosed that she is living with incurable brain cancer but remains actively engaged in advocating for abortion access.

Despite the diagnosis, she continues to work and engage with movement leaders on strategy, challenging Republicans on the issue.

Richards is also involved in developing a bot to provide information for safe abortions.

“I am sleeping. I’m eating. I’m having fun. I’m working. It’s like Pinocchio — I’m a real boy, and that feels really good,” Richards said.

“Because six months ago, I didn’t know that this was possible.”

She is being treated through a clinical trial and remains optimistic, focusing on her goals and feeling blessed.
