Marc and Julie Anderson
Born in October 1973—just nine months after Roe v. Wade—high school sweethearts Marc and Julie Anderson have been married since July 1996.
Since 2000, they have served as regular contributors for The Leaven, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, and have received journalism awards from the Catholic Press Association, the Knights of Columbus and National Right to Life, including an honorable mention in the National Right to Life’s 14th annual award for excellence in journalism for “A couple’s fiat, or the ‘ayes’ have it,” the story of a family who adopted a child after an abortion was stopped by her birth mother. In 2017, the couple received first place in the Catholic Press Association’s Best Reporting on Children and Teens Category for “Musical Work of Mercy,” a piece about children who sang for one of their favorite faculty members then dying of cancer. In 2018, the couple earned three awards, including first place in Best News Writing on a National or International Event: National Event for their four-page spread about human trafficking. The couple regularly volunteers for Kansans for Life, handing out fliers at the state fair, writing occasional articles and taking photos for the newsletter, assisting with mass mailings, distributing voters’ guides and soliciting petition signatories. The couple’s prolife convictions were born and strengthened from their shared Catholic faith as well as out of Julie’s complex medical history and their struggle with infertility after the loss of their only son, William James. |
Born October 1, 1973, Julie was later labeled with a failure to thrive. She spent most of her infancy at Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka, Kansas, and the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas. In 1974, she became the first child in Topeka on hyperalimentation, a form of intravenous feeding. During childhood, she received 29 blood transfusions and spent numerous days in the hospital.
In February 1997, the couple welcomed news of their first child. When a routine ultrasound indicated the possibility of Down syndrome, doctors referred them to a high-risk pregnancy specialist who encouraged them to consider all options including abortion. Instead, they prayed and looked forward to their baby’s arrival. Due to pregnancy complications, the couple lost their only child, William James, on July 7. |

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.
Terry’s book What If We’ve Been Wrong? was released in 2016 and she has the exclusive movie rights to all of Dr. Nathanson’s writings and life story with plans for a feature film. In 2018, she is scheduled to speak at many venues across the country. While managing a Virginia PAC in 2011, Terry earned “The Worst Virginian in the World Award” by a liberal blogger and “The Greatest Impact Award” by a conservative blogger after working toward the defeat of a 28-year, pro-abortion, anti-parental rights Virginia State Senate incumbent. Using a grassroots strategy focused on exposing Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project” and the aggressive abortion industry’s attack on parental rights, Terry’s unparalleled methods awakened uninformed voters, crossed racial barriers and gained national media attention. Terry is talk show host of What If We’ve Been Wrong? broadcast on AmericaOutloud.com.
She’s been a contributing writer for The Washington Time’s “Power of Prayer” supplement and guest oped, WND, Fairfax Free Citizen and The Free Lance Star; radio and podcast interviews include In the Market with Janet Parshall, Relevant Radio’s “A Closer Look with Shelia Liaugminas” and the “Drew Mariani Show,” America Outloud’s “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Pleasure,” WND, Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” and lecture talk, Dr. Richard Land Live, EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly with Catherine Szeltner, Steve Deace Show, Rob Schilling Show, Radio Maria, Culture Shock Radio, The Gospel of Life, and Dominion Radio. Terry has been interviewed for articles in The Washington Post, The Catholic Herald newspaper, World Magazine, and Virginia Right. Terry is a 2015 worldview graduate of Chuck Colson’s Fellows Program, former Virginia coordinator for ParentalRights.org, a former investment broker of 14 years and a retired homeschool mother of two daughters. In 1986, Terry graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.S. in Business. She currently serves on America Restored Advisory Board; Virginia Christian Alliance Board of Directors; and she is on the executive team for Deborah’s Voice 2018. Terry has been married for 32 years to Kenny Beatley.
