Cory Lerner Richards (1948 – April 4, 2013) was an American activist for birth control and abortion rights.[1] He worked for the Guttmacher Institute, which he first joined in 1975 as a policy analyst.[2] He was appointed vice president for public policy in 1988, senior vice president in 2000, and executive vice president in 2008.[2]

After graduating from Yale University in 1970, he worked for Peter Kyros, a Democratic U.S. Representative from Maine, which led him toward public health policy.[2]

In 1994, Richards spearheaded the report Uneven and Unequal, which analyzed variability in insurance funding for birth control.[1] In 1998, he founded the Guttmacher Policy Review, a quarterly journal that analyzes sexual and reproductive health and rights issues. The journal's statistical reporting and policy opinions have been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Congress.[2]

Richards also volunteered with NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Abortion Federation, National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), and Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS).[1]

He died in 2013 (aged 64) of pancreatic cancer at the Washington Home and Community Hospice.[3]
