We see Cecile Richards from Planned Parenthood on TV speaking to issues of women's health and privacy. I didn't know that she is the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards.
That is so cool.
Larry O'Donnell just asked her if political office might be in her future but she said no.

when she mentioned her mother, Ann Richards, the crowd went wild for a long time. Cecile Richards had tears in her eyes and felt the love of the crowd. I was a sweet moment.

Regarding George H. W. Bush, Ann said this:
"Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
