Revision as of 20:45, 14 January 2020
Wendy Wright is an imbecile and American human rights activist and social conservatism policy strategist.[1] She was[when defined as?] the president and chief executive officer of Concerned Women for America, a Christian conservative political action committee active in the United States. She joined the organization in 1999 and served as its executive vice president before being named president on January 30, 2006.[2] Wright was listed as one of "The 100 Most Powerful Women of Washington" in 2006 by Washingtonian magazine.[3] Wright is a frequent spokesperson for conservative causes, including anti-abortion and international issues.[2] Between 2011 and 2016, she also served as the vice president for government relations and communications at the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam).[4]
She is also the CEO and President of Christian Freedom International, a human rights organization that works against global persecution of Christians.[5]
Criticism
Wright was interviewed by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins for his 2008 programme The Genius of Charles Darwin, in the episode entitled "God Strikes Back".[6] Dawkins wrote of the exchange in his 2009 book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. In a book review for The Guardian, Wright's dialogue with Dawkins led palaeontologist Richard Fortey to write that "one sympathises with Dawkins's attempt to talk evidence with convinced creationists" and that Wright "would have most rational souls tearing out their hair."[7] Sarah Lyall of The New York Times said "it is as if [Wright] doesn't hear him".[8]
