Terry Beatley is the author of What If We’ve Been Wrong? Keeping my promise to America’s “Abortion King.” In a rare interview in 2009, Terry accepted the pro-life mantle of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, cofounder of NARAL. She promised to arm Americans with the truth of how he deceived America with the lie that abortion is healthcare. Terry is president of Hosea Initiative, a 501(c)(3) educational organization, focused on changing hearts and minds about abortion by bringing this healing truth. She also consults political candidates on how “life” is the winning issue through Broaden the Base Communications, LLC.
