Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and a native Texan whose mother, Ann Richards, served as governor, responded in a statement to HuffPost.
Rick Perrys remarks are incredibly condescending and insulting to women," Richards said. "This is exactly why the vast majority of Texans believe that politicians shouldnt be involved in a womans personal health care decisions. Women are perfectly capable of deciding whether to choose adoption, end a pregnancy, or raise a child, and they dont need Rick Perrys help making that decision. What the world saw in Texas this week was democracy in action. The people had a voice this week, and well make sure they have a voice in the weeks ahead."
