Susanne Martinez was the Vice President for Public Policy of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and served on the board of Alliance for Justice, an advocacy organization dedicated to leftwing agendas, whose primary goal is to oppose all of President Bush’s conservative judicial appointees. Martinez has also worked as Senior Vice President for Policy at the Children’s Defense Fund, an advocacy group whose professed concern for children is, in practice, a vehicle through which it can push for bigger government.

Martinez retired from her position with Planned Parenthood in January 2014.
