Censor Librorum
America’s future hangs in the balance with what YOU do with Dr. Nathanson’s legacy, so order your book TODAY!
What If We’ve Been Wrong? is a must-read for 2022, regardless of where you stand on the abortion issue. Now that abortion policy will no longer be decided by 9 unelected justices and returned to 330,000,000 citizens who elect their state legislators to represent their values, America’s Abortion King’s parting message and compelling legacy is needed NOW more than ever!
————————————————
In a small apartment in Manhattan, New York, on December 1, 2009, Terry Beatley interviewed terminally-ill, 83-year-old, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who cofounded NARAL Pro-Choice America and trained Planned Parenthood’s doctors how to kill children in the womb. He called himself the “keeper of abortion’s keys.”
Dr. Nathanson commissioned Terry:
- to teach how he intentionally deceived United States citizens into accepting abortion-on-demand, and
- to deliver his personal parting message to our nation.
With a handshake sealing her promise, Terry pledged to teach until his legacy and message became common knowledge.
She made this promise exactly 12 years prior to the US Supreme Court hearing Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization oral arguments, the case which ultimately overturned the Roe and Casey decisions.
Experience this timely, compelling, true story of one doctor who deceived American judges, legislators, doctors, clergy and millions of mothers and fathers . . .
and one woman determined to fulfill the promise she made him.
Dr. Nathanson revealed to Terry:
- how he followed the science which changed his mind about abortion
- a deadly political maneuver called the “Catholic Strategy”
- confirmation of a racist population-control plan
- the profound loss of parental rights due to the fabrication of minors’ reproductive rights, and
- a pathway to healing for those exploited by his lies.

Henry –
So important in today’s pro-death world.
Roger –
We have been wrong. Finally, the supreme court will begin to unravel the wrong.
Thank you.
Jeri –
I regret my abortion. Really. Don’t do it.
Mark –
Thank you, Terry. Keep the faith.
Victor –
I’m not Catholic, but I have heard the straddle. Unbelievable when you think about it.
TQ –
Bravery is rare. You are brave. You are rare.
God bless you!
Askerson –
I hope and pray that Texas starts our country down the path of being pro life. After all, being pro death has required immigration that hurts our country, because it is the wrong type of immigration. I as tell everyone, Today’s immigrants are not your grandfather’s immigrants.
Jaime –
When I heard ‘follow the science’ i really wanted everyone to, well, follow the science. Of course, I was hoping too much.
THank you, Terry, for following the science.
Frank –
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Le’gal –
Thank you for such an important book. Now with Texas taking the lead, hopefully we can get rid of abortion in this country like we got rid of slavery!
Virginia –
In today’s world, not being WOKE is a brave thing. Terry, you are very brave.
William –
Over the weekend, FOX said that men encourage women to get an abortion so they can have sex with women without consequence. This can be so true. I did it many years ago and I regret pushing my girlfriend to get an abortion. Our baby would have been 19 this month.
Michael –
Thank you, Terry. Preach the truth loud and clear.
Georgia –
Deep down, all women know they are carrying a baby. That is how it works — for all females. That is the science. I wonder what PETA would say if a doctor did an abortion on a polar bear? Would that be kindness to the polar bear?
Bill –
Thank yo u thank you thank you.
Olive –
I can’t believe that Roe didn’t even really want an abortion. At first, I didn’t believe you. Then I looked it up. Amazing. Thank you for telling the truth.
Dennis B –
At first, I really didn’t want to read a book about abortion. Afterall, that is a woman’s issue, right? Now I can see that it is a human issue. Keep pressing with the truth.
Walter –
Great work. Men need to know this as much, if not more!
Michelle –
Terry, I cried when I learned how the lie started. It seems like they are lying to us all over again with the vaccine. PLease, keep telling the truth. Shout it from the mountain top.
Steven –
As we approach 9/11, we remember those 3,000 who died. We need to do that, no doubt. But over 3,000 babies die every day — since 9/11 — and we need to remember that. Our nation needs to turn away from its wicked ways and only then will God heal our land.
Julliette –
Thanks for telling the truth.
Harlinger –
What if? Yes, we have been wrong. Thanks for teaching about the catholic straddle. Very important.
Regina –
Thank you terry for your bravery. We are now in a new world that needs to hear your voice.
Farah –
Waht to do with this new pro-abort world? May your book and God help us.
Dr. Londagan –
Bright information in a dark world. Thank you.
Corey –
On the day that will live in Infamy, I remember the other day that lives in Infamy — when Roe v. Wade was decided.
Keep speaking the truth.
Gabriel –
We have been wrong. Keep telling the truth. America is re-entering a dark phase. Shine the light.
Juan –
Muchas gracias.
Simmon –
Thank you for courage to tell the truth. Read this book!
Chad –
60 million dead. US birthrate now below 2.1, which is needed to sustain a culture. This is deliberate stuff!
Halid –
More men need to read this book. They keep pushing girlfriends to get abortion. Men need to learn the truth.
David –
Thank you for this book. And thank you for our new SCOTUS justice. Terry, you are ahead of your time, and now it is your time. Thank you!
Linda –
Amy was just confirmed! Praise the Lord. Now we have someone who will follow the constitution! This is the Dems worst nightmare. Someone who will actually uphold the rule of law, is a female, is a mom, is a wife, is a lawyer, is a brilliant scholar of the law, etc, etc, etc!
Now, if only she will read your book!
Sue –
Thank you for this book in this courageous time. I find it funny that the left is arguing for the science, but no one seems to have bothered with the science of abortion. Thank you for exposing the truth – and the science.
Nancy –
If only Judge Barrett is confirmed! Then the world will begin to see the evil of abortion. It isnot enough that Roe actually had the baby, and is now pro-life, we need to have a pro life court who is open to hearing the word of truth that you write about. Thank you for such a strong book!
Maria –
A lot seems to be going on around the Supreme Court. The democrats are worried about the court. Well, it is time the court just rule on the law, and not legislate from the bench. I hope everone can see just who the left is, and isn’t.
They can’t be for “women” because Amy is too perfect. They are for the radical agenda of abortion that Terry talks about in her book. Make sure you learn the truth.
Gary –
My granddaughter is thinking about an abortion. I’m trying to talk her out of it, but she is conflicted with the media and their lies. Your book is about truth. Please pray that we can discuss your book together. It’s funny. She knows it isn’t a blob of tissue. But she needs something to hold on to. I want her to hold on to your book. She will then have the truth about the lies.
Holly –
Go Terry! Go Amy! Two maverick women for the ages.
I’m praying for both of you.
Dave –
Thank you for the passion and truth. I know that it doesn’t make sense what the other side is saying. We ALL know that after 9 months, you have a baby human. Not a blob. Not a monkey, not a seal, not a polar bear, not a spotted owl. A human.
Terry breaks down the lie and reveals its origin. Now we need to take up the truth. Please read this book if you are looking for the truth!
Bill –
This book is full of lies. Not once does Terry mention a “woman’s right to choose.” She completely misses the importance of choice and the right to do with your own body what you want to do. Who cares if some old white man changed his mind. It doesnt have anything to do with a man. Wake up people.
Michael –
Not only does abortion impact the mom and, sadly the baby, but also the father. Terry tells the truth, which “will set you free” and allow all fathers to heal, and greive for their lost child. Thank you Terry!
Gabriel –
I hope the supreme court will read this book. The baby is NOT part of the “mom’s” body. We now know that blob of tissue has its own being, including a beating heart, brain waves and finger prints. The decision was not made with this medical knowledge. They just didn’t know it. But now they do.
Terry, you need to appear in front of the court.
Roman –
Thanks for your bravery in this time. We need to learn more about this issue. I hope others buy your book!
Deb –
Terry, thank you for your courage. Please keep getting the word out about how all this started, and why Dr. N changed when he was confronted with the truth. If only all people will embrace the truth.
Fiona –
Let’s pray that JUSTICE Barrett will overturn Roe. Thank you for your story, and the resources to back it up!
Susan –
Now that RBG is gone, getting this message out to others is huge. I’m thrilled that Judge Barrett has been nominated! Finally, the truth about the baby can come out to the people.
Sandra –
RBG has died. It is time for an awakening and the honest truth about abortion, and not some radical view. Please, President Trump, nominate a justice that will follow the law! AND make sure you send them a copy of this book. Terry outlines the lie. The new justice needs to know the truth.
Michelle –
Smack my head. Wow. Terry tells the truth about the abortion industry. If you think that you’re carrying a blob of tissue, read this book. We now know what Dr. Nathanson learned, the ultra sound shows the baby alive and fighting for their life. Thank you Terry for puttng this together and telling the truth about the big lie. Everybody needs to read this!
Kristi –
I sent this to my mom, and another copy to my 16 year old daughter. I was suprised that they both enjoyed it, and the three of us spent a couple ours talking about what it means to us as women, and mothers of the world.
Kenneth –
Thank you for writing such a courageous book. Biden needs to read this as a Catholic, and follow the science. Follow the science, Joe.
Brenda –
I hope that everyone thinking about an abortion reads this book. Powerful argument for life.
Justin –
My girlfriend wanted an abortion and I gave her this book. Now, our baby is on its way! Thank you, Terry. One more life saved.
Georgia –
Thank you for such a powerful message in a time of great need!
Michael –
As a father of 3 today, I do regret the child that I never had when I was younger. They told my girlfriend that it was just a blob. In my heart, I knew better. I think we all know better.
Thank you for the book. Knowing how this all started gives great insight on how to end the whole thing! Hopefully God will allow us to have Mr. Trump for four more years. The most Pro life president – ever!
Isa –
I can’t believe after all these years, we still have abortion in our country. Everybody keeps saying to “follow the science” when it comes to masks and the virus. Well I say, “follow the science” when it comes to abortion. If we did that, it would end! Tell everyone to read this book!
Charlotte –
I always wondered what “Roe” did after the decision. I didn’t know that she HAD the baby, and is VERY pro-life. The left sure does lie to us. Buy this book and learn the truth.
Emma –
Terry, you made me cry — with the truth. Oh my, God please forgive me and our Supreme Court.
If you are looking for a one-stop reference guide, buy this book!
Olivia –
Terry, you are very courageous. Every Pro Life person — and every Pro Choice person needs to read this book!
Marie –
If only we knew we were wrong. The baby is not a choice, it’s a life. For those who think it is a choice, then what are you choosing between? Life or death? Convenience or motherhood? WHAT IS THE CHOICE?
Wagner –
We have been wrong. What if we become right? Not only will we save the body of the child, we will save the soul of our nation.
Read this book!
Rebecca –
Strong voice with strong faith. Thank you for such courage.
Gene –
We have been wrong. There is no “What if”.
I’m fearful for our country. May God have pity on us.
Loudoun –
Terry, you are very brave these days to take on such an important topic. I have told my friends for the longest time, when you devalue human life, then everything else is devalued. We are seeing that with our history, our schools and our neighborhoods. I echo what others are saying, stay strong!
Jane S. –
With the lies about our history and the destruction of the statues, your book shows up telling the truth about history and the destruction of abortion. Everyone who is concernated about Black Lives needs to read this book!
Martha –
Finally, the truth. I heard on Sean or was it Tucker someone talking about Margaret Sanger and the low birth rate in the black community. I never realized that Dr. Bernard Nathanson was also a believer of Sanger’s, until he saw the light of truth.
Ultimate –
Thank you for taking the risk to write such an honest story about abortion. In these riotous times, speaking the truth can be somewhat dangerous. Stay strong.
Ladonna –
I’m shocked that your even a woman. Don’t you know that we have the right to choose what happens to our bodies, not you. Everybody I know has had an abortion. At least we don’t have no more mouth to feed.
Joan –
Thank you.
Emily –
Please tell everybody this story. The lies we have been told are being treated like they are the truth. Your book explains why we must all know the truth about the abortion industry. If you think you know it, you don’t. Thx Terry.
Bobby –
When I was in college, my girlfriend got pregnant. I encouraged her and she got an abortion. I regret this so much. She did too. Although we were supposed to get married, she could never forgive me for pushing her. Only Jesus can forgive me, and I know that he has already forgiven her. Please don’t get an abortion, because what you are really doing is killing your own baby, flesh and blood.
Charles –
I heard you talk some months ago, and during Covid, I figured I’d get your book. It is a must read for everyone who is prolife. Now, i am armed with the truth and can help others be better informed so they won’t make the same mistake as so many have.
Fiad –
Octavia –
This book should be titled, “What if I was wrong?” And I was. Please read this book so you won’t be. I’m learning that it has all been a huge lie by those who wish to bring and keep evil in this world.
Too many in my community don’t realize that more babies are killed than are born. This is a huge tragedy for us, and our culture.
Irene –
Thank you for this book. I knew all along that something wasn’t right about getting an abortion. It might be my body, but it is the life of another human. I know that now for sure. You should too.
Vandrof –
We have been wrong. Thank you for this book. I can’t wait until the movie comes out.
Vallery –
My mom had an abortion after me. She said I was “too much of a handful” to have more kids. Odd, why didn’t she stop having boyfriends then? Afterall, she knew that an unaborted baby would be a baby. Thanks for telling the truth.
Phyllis –
What if we’ve been wrong? I know I was.
Please keep telling the truth. Whoever came up with the idea it was a ‘blob of tissue’ should really fear for their soul. May God have mercy on them, and on me.
Mark –
With the new court, hopefully they will cure this illness to our country — starting with the Louisiana case heard yesterday! Thank you for speaking the truth with boldness and honesty.
Marylynn –
I regret my abortion. They told me it was a block of tissue. Now I know that my son or daughter had a beating heart. You have helped me heal. XXXOOOOXXX
Dolle –
I am giving this to my 16 year old granddaughter. She needs to know the truth, and God knows she is not getting it from the schools.
Dennie –
I live in Virginia where the new Democratic government full of Planned Parenthood money politicians is liberalizing abortion. Even the governor, who is supposed to be a doctor, is on video contemplating the killing of a born baby. Your book needs to be read by everyone who thinks it’s a blob or tissue — or who votes for democrats.
Betty –
Finally someone who is telling the truth. If only the people would read it — before it is too late.
Felipe –
What if we have been wrong? Well I was. My son was aborted by his mother, and I didn’t even get a chance to save him. For some reason, I could be compelled to pay child support if she wanted me to, but I can’t save his life if she doesn’t. This world is upside down.
Have you thought about writing a book from the father’s perspective? God bless you.
Paul –
My mom almost aborted me. Instead, I’m here. Thanks mom, and thank you Terry.
Henry –
Well done. Well organized. Great references. Nice job.
Lisa –
Thank you. If only the Supreme Court would read your book. Let us pray….
Emily –
I just received this as a Christmas gift. At first, I was a little troubled by the fact that someone would give me a book about abortion for Christmas. Then I realized that they were giving me a book about LOVE.
What a great Christmas gift. The gift of love.
Marwan –
Only God can forgive. What if we have been wrong? Thank you for speaking the truth!
Patty –
The anniversary for Dec 7, 1941 is coming up. A day that will live in infamy, when just over 2,400 people lose their lives.
Well, January 22, 1973 has been much worse. Not only the 60+ Million children that were never, but the 60+ Million moms and dads.
We need to end this century that will live in infamy.
Lisa –
Be careful if you are going to read this. The truth will set you free. I had an abortion years ago and I regret it daily. This book has shown me the lies that we all fell for, and many continue to fall for. If you want the truth, then read this book.
Also, I heard Terry speak. Very beautiful. I would recommend to every group to have her speak!
Maryann –
I cried when I read your promise. But now, i feel like the burden has lifted. Keep telling the truth.
Alan –
My mom almost had an abortion. If she had, I would not be abel to write this. The evil of the lie is preventing others from being able to write at all.
Keep telling the truth!
Mark –
I tried to talk my girlfriend out of having an abortion. Sad to say, I couldn’t. I wish I had this book to go over the truth with her. I think it would have made a big difference in her decision.
Olivia –
This book should be on everyone’s Christmas gift. Give the gift of LIFE, and knowledge.
Judy –
Thank you for writing this eye opening book. Please keep spreading the word about the truth of abortion.
eve –
I wish I had know the truth about the lies of abortion. I know that I am forgiven, but I don’t want other women — mom’s to be — to have to live through the pain that I did. Adoption is an option. And an option for life.
IRATE –
Your book if full of hate and lies. As a woman, you of all should know that you have a right to your own body and that a bunch of cells are not human. Stop spreading the lies about Margaret. She is only trying to help all women, even women of color, to have the choice to fix a mistake. YOU are the one who is trying to hurt women!
Orlando –
Terry, we have been wrong. You are making it right. I only hope that it is not too late for our country. Please keep spreading the good news!
Angela –
I’m reading about Catholics being duped. As an Evangelical, I think we all have been duped. Thank you Terry for your work and courage.
Lopez –
Wonderful. I never knew the lies. I am ashamed at how Catholics were duped. As one, I will work to right this wrong!
Ralph –
Our entire parish needs to learn about this ‘truth’. We need a “Catholic rising” moment. How do I get you to come to our parish and teach this to us?
Roman –
In today’s world, everyone is talking about “a woman’s right to choose” and the other side is saying, “pro life”. I knew I had to research more, and Terry’s book has it all in there for me!
She talks about the lies that created the culture of “safe, legal and rare.” Well, today, the culture is “up until the last moment with the baby almost delivered, unsafe — especially for the child and many times for the mom, and certainly not rare.” HOW did we get this far?
Thank you, Terry, for telling us the truth. And I loved the ROE comments that follow ever chapter.
Steven Knicks –
Thank you.
Bianca –
We see all these mass shootings. Just terrible. And no one is brave enough to speak the truth — except you. Your books uncovers how our culture moved away from Christianity and to a culture of death. The only way to stop mass shootings is to bring back the value of life, and the fact that God created each of us to be his own. When our culture values life once again, mass shootings will end.
Urlene –
If we know how this started, then we have a better chance to defeat it. Most young adults believe the lies of the left. It is easier to do. Terry, you do a great job in telling the truth. Can you come to our Pro life gala and talk? How do I get a hold of you for that?
Mary K. –
Thank you for writing this book. I need to get one for my pro-choice daughter. She refuses to listen to me about the truth, so hopefully she will read it from you!
God bless you and your efforts!
Marie V Allen –
This is a powerful well-researched book about how America was deceived before the passage of Roe V. Wade in 1973. Terry Beatley was able to interview the somewhat reclusive Dr. Bernard Nathanson before he died in 2011. She made a promise to help get the truth out about abortion and the lies told back in the early 1970’s, but little did she realize this promise would result in this book and an ongoing activism in her pro-life mission. The book is well-organized and an important one to have as a reference in your Christian library.
Fatima –
I never knew. I had friends tell me that it was a blob of tissue. I know that I am forgiven, but if I had read your book before, I would have known better. I guess a part of me already knew, but your book tells the truth. Please, keep telling the truth.
Emily –
It is ironic that the same group of people who talk about the settled science of “global warming” wont discuss the new science of baby’s heart beats as early as just a couple of weeks. When Roe v Wade was ruled on, the ultrasound was just becoming commonly used. Today, we have 3-D ultrasound and there is no debate or science needed to figure out that it is a baby. Keep telling your story! We need to hear it.
Patty –
When will the SCOTUS overturn Roe? Your book will help. Have you given one to each of the justices? If they read your truth, and if they understand the lie that America was told, they will overturn this law.
Jay –
Very strong. We all need to read this book. Being pro-human is not a choice.
Mary –
Wow, I never knew any of this. Thank you, Terry for telling us the truth about why and how abortion started. Every pro-choice person needs to read this.
Brenda –
I used to think that a woman had the right to choose. I always thought it was my body and I had a decision to what happens to it. But you showed me that the whole movement was based on a lie. It breaks my heart to know that women are tricked into killing their own child. Sad.
Charles –
My daughter had an abortion and I gave her this book. She broke down and cried. She has forgiven herself. Thank you for the healing of my daughter. Now it is time heal America.
Owen –
Wendy –
I did not know about Dr. Nathanson and how he lied about abortions and back-ally deaths. With the momentum of late in the pro-life direction, I heard someone talk about back-ally abortions and how we are destined to go back to them. Because of your book, I was able to tell that person it was all a lie in the first place.
Thanks for spreading the truth. God bless.
Helen E. –
Like so many others, I have heard many statements over the years defending abortion. What this book revealed so clearly is the systematic campaign to shape the dialogue by using mis-direction and outright untruths.
Ms. Beatley’s interview of Dr Bernard Nathanson provides clear evidence of the dishonesty of the pro-abortion lobby. Dr. Nathanson, who trained and supported Planned Parenthood abortion providers, later abandoned his pro-abortion work and asked “What if we’ve been wrong?” (about the nature of abortion and of the unborn child). Not only did Dr. Nathanson disavow his position on abortion, he later converted to Catholicism.
This book is credible witness to the truth about the abortion industry in the United States and the deception that allowed it to become so powerful.
Helen E.
Joe Wurtz –
This was a powerful, compelling witness shining the light on the culture of death while offering hope through repentance and love. Everyone needs to know how America has been duped into this most horrendous of evil. We need everyone to know the truth – it will set our nation free.
A big thank you to Terry and prayers the Holy Spirit empowers her crusade!
dpburkley –
See above 2 commentaries….they give a good description.
I wish to add that each chapter ends with a page listing items for “further study and action:”
These references are brief but give adequate and helpful detail for many apropos topics and their websites!!
Craig –
What you don’t know, will kill you and it is killing America, the Church, and you, your children and your children’s children. Ignorance!
We are living under the curse of a nation and a people that have ignorantly made a choice for death, rather than life. That choice of death carries with it a curse by God. Get informed!
Terry Beatley was privileged and obligated to expose this evil for what it is, the greatest lie that has ever been perpetrated on humanity. Killing a baby in the womb is murder and the Doctor that began that, as the founder of NARAL, came to repent of the deceit he had carried out and how the leadership of the Catholic church, the Protestant church and a host of politicians bought into his lie. Embrace the truth!
Terry Beatley came to know Dr. Bernard Nathanson in the latter part of his life and was tasked by him to go out and tell the world the evil that he had helped create. And she does so without consideration for those in power that fear what this expose will mean to their profits. Speak truth to power!
This is the story of where America, and the world is today, sold out to this evil, manipulated by Planned Parenthood, NARAL to eliminate the image of God innocently displayed in every unborn baby. Repent for enabling murder!
Terry rips the curtain back on this monster and sheds the light on what has and is still happening and how we can end it. Shine the Light!
Choose life, choose Terry’s book and choose to now, End this evil!
Read the book!

robakhill –
Finally, the truth about how America was deceived into believing the abortion lie. Thank you, Terry for giving me the ammunition to win the abortion battle. If you are pro-life, you need this book!
