United States activist, writer, organizer, feminist and art historian. She graduated fromBarnard College in 1992. Richards has appeared in Fox’sThe O'Reilly Factor ,Oprah ,Talk of the Nation ,New York One andCNN .Ms. Richards became the source of controversy in 2004 for the aborting of two of three fetuses she discovered she was carrying. She stated she only desired a single child as she was unmarried(although at the time she was still with the father of the triplets) and lived in Manhattan. She explained among several reasons for requesting a selective abortion that, she lived in a five story walk up, she might have to move to Staten Island and she would have to go on bedrest in March, her biggest months for the lecture circuit. This admission was made in an article published in the New York Times, for which Ms. Richards is a freelance journalist.
