Liberals Are Mad At NYT For Suggesting That Some People View Cecile Richards As A ‘Deeply Evil Woman’

Brace yourselves. I’m about to defend the New York Times. I know, I know. It took me a few minutes to digest that too.

Last month, Cecile Richards announced that she would be stepping down from her position as the president of Planned Parenthood. Thank you America! It has been the honor of her life to be an advocate for the murder of the unborn!

It has been the honor of my life to fight alongside the clinicians, advocates, volunteers, and staff at this incredible organization.

I'm so proud of what we've accomplished together—in the past year alone, we've defeated three “defund” attempts and helped build a movement that has led to a record-number of women running for office.

Planned Parenthood has been at the forefront of progress for the past 100 years, and we'll be leading the charge for the next 100.

Through generations of struggle and change, we've been driven by one simple, radical notion: No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body.

Whatever the future holds, I'll always be committed to that revolutionary idea and all those who refuse to settle for a world where women are anything less than full equals.

Thank you for joining in this work with me. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Cecile Richards is a despicable woman. In fact, I recently described her as a “DEVIL WOMAN.” Go look. Right here. Why do I mention that? Because NYT is catching heat for this tweet.

Depending on whom you ask, Cecile Richards is a national "hero" or a "deeply evil woman" https://t.co/RdnzD3GPSX

For once, NYT provided a factual statement. It does depend on who you ask. There are people like me who view her as a murderous devil woman, and there are people like Kamala Harris. Cecile Richards is a hero in her book.

.@CecileRichards has shown what it means to be a true fighter for women’s rights. She’s been unyielding even in the face of unrelenting attacks. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Planned Parenthood and women in America. https://t.co/JnFE8OsAxL

God forbid NYT present the other side. And it wasn’t even like NYT was stating an opinion. It’s simply saying, “Hey. Some people love Cecile. Others hate her.”

THAT IS FACTUAL. I CANNOT STAND HER.

Anyone still subscribed to the @nytimes is actively condoning the paper's serial misogyny.

And don't tell me you only care about the crossword.

I used to love the @nytimes. I currently live in a city without a good printed daily and paid good money to expose my kids to what I thought was great journalism. It's also my hometown paper. So it's heartbreaking not to be able to pass that love along any longer.

This tweet should be deleted and an apology issued. https://t.co/aRSXspVXmO

But why? I don’t understand. Cecile Richards advocates for the murder of the unborn. That is “deeply evil” in my book.

What the actual hell? What is the point of a headline like that? What news is conveyed? Signed, concerned longtime reader who stands strongly for @PPact.

Delete the tweet. What the hell is going on @nytimes https://t.co/cpthTGcqQc

Unprofessional for a Major News Organization! https://t.co/9Scto6TcTa

What the hell is wrong with you? NY Times is becoming a laughing stock for bizarre comments like this one. Did you even bother to look at her amazing accomplishments on behalf of all women?

— Carol Vernon (@CarolVernon7) January 27, 2018

For real. Over 320,000 babies murdered annually! That’s gotta be a record or something!

Indeed! Shame on you @nytimes https://t.co/uw2bgcuiXw

@nytimes is a cesspool of rightwing apologists. What in the world happened to them? They did everything in their power to ensure trump's election, and they continue to pile on to Clinton, Democrats and those who support them. Ridiculous. https://t.co/ASBi4Yb4NR

What planet are these people living on?!

No worries Cecile is HERO and heroes always have enemies who try to bring them down to their level. https://t.co/oO74Wh6UHY

What has poisoned your mind? She’s saved countless lives and held fast to the rights of women to have power over their health.

— Colin Savage (@savagecolin) January 28, 2018

🖕🏻this kind of stuff leads to people getting killed

— Richard Sharpe (@Sharpe222) January 28, 2018

Seriously? You want to talk about innocent people getting killed? I’m more than happy to oblige. Hold please. Allow me to fetch Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report.

That’s it. I’m done.

— (( ABN )) (@mcnuss) January 28, 2018

Whoa! Cecile Richards has fought time and again to protect women’s right to healthcare from politicians who do not support affordable preventative care for those without insurance. Check yourself, @nytimes.

— ME Walker🦋 (@alaceywill) January 28, 2018

Do they seriously expect NYT to sit there and pretend that Cecile Richards is a totally non-controversial figure? Eh. Who am I kidding? Of course they do. NYT has conditioned their sheeple to be this way.

This is on you NYT. You created this.

The most delicious part of this? NYT is losing subscribers like crazy, and it’s their own fault. It’s like a romantic tragedy or something.
