“Bishop Mark Seitz is a man who “walks the walk.” His passion for life and for seeing that it is respected at all stages, especially from its conception has been a great inspiration to me. I have worked with him in “the vineyard,” and watched him gently minister to those suffering from abortion on a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat. I have also watched him on the sidewalk outside an abortion center leading prayers to end to abortion. On a more personal note, he has been there even amidst his busy schedule as a spiritual director to help guide me in a manner that is like Jesus. His commitment to the priesthood and serving his people is inspiring and a beautiful example to us all.”- Fonda (Lash) Luersman, former Diocese of Venice Project Rachel Coordinator, 2015-18

Terry Beatley
National speaker, Founder, Hosea Initiative

Author, What If We’ve Been Wrong: Keeping My Promise to America’s Abortion King
Terry is the founder and president of Hosea Initiative, a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization dedicated to bringing healing truth to a broken world devoured by secular lies.
Why? Because she made a promise to Dr. Bernard Nathanson that she would teach America the strategy of how he deceived our country with an 8-point propaganda campaign including an in-depth analysis of the Catholic Strategy—the tactic which convinced lukewarm Catholics to rationalize supporting legalized abortion. She committed to deliver his personal parting message until it becomes common knowledge. Dr. Nathanson deeply regretted cofounding NARAL [NARAL Pro-Choice America], paving the way for the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision and unleashed abortion on America.
Restoring a culture that values the gift of life and the principles of American liberty is central to the mission of Hosea Initiative. Terry promised Dr. Nathanson that America will be liberated with the truth.
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. She consults political candidates on how “life” is the winning issue through Broaden the Base Communications, LLC. She is a 2015 worldview graduate of Chuck Colson’s Fellows Program, former Virginia coordinator for ParentalRights.org, a former investment broker and retired homeschool mother of two daughters. Terry has been married for 31 years to her high school sweetheart.

The Fight for Life: Taking It to the Streets and
Angels Among Us: The Battle for America
Forty-five years after the Roe v. Wade decision, legal abortion has become common and it is safe to say America is a post-abortion society. What is not common are the vast numbers of men and women whose “choice” has left them trapped in a myriad of physical and mental conditions they do not understand and cannot release. Very few discuss their abortion decision and even fewer seek help. This segment is intended to open the door to discussion of helping those “trapped in choice” and understanding we need to talk to post abortive America in a different way.
