<\/div>

Terry Beatley\u2019s foray into the pro-life movement began as a fierce parental rights advocate after learning about how organizations like National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and Planned Parenthood were behind pro-abortion and anti-parental rights bills.<\/p>\n

For three years, Beatley served as a volunteer with ParentalRights.org<\/a>, tasked with educating her rural Virginia community about the impending evisceration of parental rights amid concerns the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Treaty was gaining momentum in the US Senate.<\/p>\n

Beatley told Live Action News, \u201cThis treaty would have provided an even more permanent and drastic loss of parental rights in the USA if ratified. Thankfully, it was not. Around this time, I began to research the history of the abortion\/contraception movement and got introduced to the movie Maafa 21<\/a> about Black genocide in the 21st century. The movie powerfully highlighted the racist roots of Planned Parenthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing the movie was the catalyst for Beatley to contact a local Black minister whom she had been trying to connect with for months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called him and asked for a three-hour appointment so I could show him the movie,\u201d Beatley said. \u201cHe agreed to my request, and we watched the movie together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Afterward, Beatley asked his thoughts about the movie.<\/p>\n

Beatley said, \u201cHe leaned forward, shook his finger at me, and declared, \u2018I will never again vote for a pro-abortion candidate. Abortion is annihilating my race and it is wrong.\u2019 This showed the importance of informing Black Americans about Planned Parenthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June 2009, during the two nights of the Love of Life Conference at the pastor\u2019s church, Maafa was shown to the attendees and the response was overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t watch this movie and not see that the message of life crossed a racial and spiritual divide,\u201d Beatley said.<\/p>\n

Collaborating with a former abortionist to spread the pro-life message<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a prayer vigil at her church in November 2009, Beatley fervently appealed to the Lord for direction about the step in her mission of uniting people for life.<\/p>\n

It was then Beatley clearly heard the Lord tell her to interview Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the co-founder of NARAL. Dubbed \u201cthe Abortion King\u201d Nathanson was instrumental in training Planned Parenthood doctors on abortion procedures. During his career as an obstetrician, he oversaw 75,000 abortions but later resigned from NARAL, converted from atheism to Catholicism, and became known as an ardent anti-abortion activist.<\/p>\n

Beatley said, \u201cI wondered why would he ever consent to an interview with me. But I knew I had to try.\u201d<\/p>\n

She contacted an attorney at a pro-life organization to obtain the doctor\u2019s phone number. She was told that Nathanson\u2019s wife would try to arrange an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my surprise, Dr. Nathanson agreed to meet with me, so I traveled to New York to sit with him for an hour,\u201d Beatley said.<\/p>\n

Inside Nathanson\u2019s Manhattan apartment, Beatley was surprised to discover how small, dark, and outdated his residence was. She was greeted by a feeble and diminutive Nathanson who, at 80 years old, was battling cancer and nearing the end of his life. He told Beatley she had intrigued him by her passion for life and mentioned he was pleased to notice that pastors were awakening to the biblical truth about abortion. He informed her she could ask him anything during the interview; he wanted to be totally transparent.<\/p>\n

Beatley said, \u201cI felt empathy for him, leaving behind a legacy of death. For most of his life, he was the medical face of the abortion movement, a man who celebrated when Roe became federal law. Later, when he realized what he had done, he dabbled in drugs to numb his shame and even contemplated suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathanson revealed to Beatley that it was the science of ultrasound technology that was behind his conversion to pro-life, not his faith. Seeing raw images of human beings alive in the womb profoundly changed Nathanson\u2019s view about abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience led him to the truth, and he wanted to share that truth with the rest of the world,\u201d Beatley said. \u201cThat abortion is not love, it\u2019s the killing of another human being. He was insistent that we should all be collaborating to stop the murder of innocent babies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeting Beatley provided Nathanson with an opportunity to expose the eight-point strategies of how he cunningly crafted propaganda to transform America into a pro-abortion nation. With Beatley\u2019s help, he could re-write his legacy by teaching pro-life activists how to promote a culture of life using those same strategies.<\/p>\n

Beatley said, \u201cI was a busy mom at the time I met with Dr. Nathanson but promised him I\u2019d get his message into the hands of every pro-life activist. I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to do that, but I trusted God would lead me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launching the pro-education Hosea Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beatley was briefly sidelined when she became involved in defeating a pro-abortion, anti-parental rights senator in Virginia by educating his constituents on his voting record. Her efforts were successful; Beatley realized the influence of education in affecting change, leading her to launch the Hosea Initiative<\/a> with a charter of \u201cBringing Healing Truth to a World Broken by Abortion\u201d through the compelling testimony of Dr. Nathanson\u2019s pro-life conversion.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosea Initiative is 90% focused on fulfilling the promise I made to Dr. Nathanson,\u201d Beatley said. \u201cHis story has put the nail in the coffin of the pro-abortion industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, Beatley wrote, \u201cWhat if We\u2019ve Been Wrong?\u201d and has also published a corresponding \u201cFact Sheet\u201d booklet that \u201cteaches the eight-point strategy of how Dr. Nathanson betrayed our country with the lie that abortion is healthcare and how radical feminism has its roots in Marxism\/Communism,\u201d both of which are available on the Hosea website.<\/p>\n

Beatley said, \u201cThis booklet is a must-read for every pro-life leader and activist. The information comes straight from the Abortion King himself. It was his mandate that I impart this message to the pro-life community, and I continued to fulfill that promise through the God-inspired Hosea Initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Beatley\u2019s books, Hosea Initiative has designed \u201cWith Child\u201d maternity wear to counteract the ubiquitous slogan of the pro-abortion industry, \u201cMy Body, My Choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must see abortion from the victims\u2019 perspective,\u201d Beatley said, \u201cThe abortion industry is very aggressive. We must educate our communities on the radicalism of abortion and about its roots in black genocide if we hope to change the culture. It was Dr. Nathanson\u2019s wish that we join to end this travesty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
