Bringing Healing Truth to a
World Broken by Abortion
Teaching Dr. Bernard Nathanson’s conversion from “America’s Abortion King”
to “Courageous Witness for Life”
Meet The Team
After working 14 years in investment management and serving as Director of Virginia’s Parental Rights, Terry’s tenacity and determination channeled into prolife activism after a divinely inspired meeting with Bernard N. Nathanson, MD on December 1, 2009. Known as the Father of America’s industry of abortion, Dr. Nathanson was ill with cancer when Terry interviewed him in Manhattan and was commissioned to bring his parting message to the nation.
She founded Hosea Initiative in 2011, a grassroots organization dedicated to “Teach the Strategy of how [Dr. Nathanson] deceived America,” as a powerful tool to crack the abortion code and restore a culture of Life. In 2016, Terry released What If We’ve Been Wrong? Keeping My Promise to America’s Abortion King, which details the first seven years fulfilling her promise.
Terry loves the Author of Life; has a passion for history and Truth; envisions an END to abortion. She enjoys time on the river with Kenny, her husband of 37 years, rarely watches TV; hardly ever knows what the current fashion is; and admires women with pretty nails — which she never has.
Our mission is rooted in the compelling story of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a key architect of the abortion industry, whose extraordinary journey from an abortion advocate to a defender of life serves as a powerful testament of God and His divine redemption and transformation of Dr. Nathanson.
