The White House announced that President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Wednesday to former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards in a private ceremony.

Richards is the daughter of former Texas Governor. Ann Richards left the reproductive healthcare organization she led for 12 years in 2018. Richards announced earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma – an aggressive brain cancer. Beau Biden’s son died from the same disease.

Biden shared a picture of himself, Jill Biden as first lady, Richards, and Richards’s spouse, Kirk Adams, on X. He also said that it was an “honor to” award Cecile Richards with the Medal of Freedom.
