I'm talking to this girl who's had her fair share of bad men, how do I help her show her a better truth that not all men are abusive? I am starting to think that she has known nothing but abuse so to show her the alternative it begs to question that she would be afraid because she has never experienced a true loving relationship so would never consider the unknown. Almost like I would have to abuse her in order for her to accept me but I could never.
How do you help a girl who's only known abusive relationships?

You don’t. It isn’t your responsibility.
If you want to date her, ask.
If she says yes, then you can make it your goal to be a better man for her. But I am certain, that like most women like her, she doesn’t want a good man, she is attracted to those males, drama, and aggressive types. So you trying to be the opposite will only make her uninterested.
Mostly , patience. And lots of understanding. Repetition, just keep being nice to her. She should come around. I was like this too.
Try to convince her to see a therapist.
