Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives.[5] She has also worked at the Turner Foundation.[6] In 1996, she founded the Texas Freedom Network, a Texas organization formed to counter the Christian right.[7]
Richards' appearance in undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood executives talking about selling fetal body parts has brought criticism.[8]
