Ann Furedi in 1999

Ann Furedi (born 31 October 1960, Birmingham, England) is associated with the libertarian and anti-environmental LM network in that she was previously a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party and (mostly) using the pseudonyms Ann Bradley or Ann Burton/Anne Burton wrote for Confrontation and regularly for Living Marxism. Since it was closed in 2000 she has contributed to Spiked [1] and the Institute of Ideas.

Ann Furedi is the Chief Executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which calls itself "the UK's leading independent provider of abortion care".[2] She is married to Frank Furedi.

According to Ann Furedi in an edit to the Wikipedia page on her[3]:

Furedi has worked in reproductive health care for more than 20 years, mainly in policy and communications. She ran the press office of the UK Family Planning Association before leading Birth Control Trust, a charity that advocated the need for research and development in methods of contraception and abortion. Before joining bpas, as its chief executive in June 2003, Furedi was Director of Policy and Communications for the UK regulator of infertility treatment and embryo research, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA. She is regarded as a leading a leading pro-choice advocate and spokesperson often appearing in the media representing this perspective.[4]

Furedi also added a passage confirming her membership of the RCP[3]:

Prior to her career in reproductive health, Furedi was a journalist, specialising in healthcare features for women's magaizines including Cosmopolitan, Company, sometimes writing under her 'maiden name', Bradley. In 1982, she married Frank Furedi, the founder and then leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), Frank Furedi.[5] At that time Ann was also a member of the now defunct RCP,[6] a former contributor to the now defunct Living Marxism magazine, and a contributor to its successor, LM Magazine. She has also contributed to Spiked Online, an online magazine, that identifies itself as libertarian humanist.
