Mark Houck, Catholic pro-life activist
and father of seven, was recently arrested
at his home in Pennsylvania after being charged with violating the Freedom of
Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for allegedly assaulting a person who
provides abortion-related services.
Pennsylvania pro-life activist Ashley Garecht told The Daily Wire that Houck was protecting his son
from an aggressive Planned Parenthood escort who was harassing the 12-year-old,
noting that the case was dismissed by a federal court in Philadelphia when
the escort tried to press charges.
Houck, who leads a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk
counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia,
claims that roughly 25 armed FBI agents in 15 vehicles raided his
residence. Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie Houck, told LifeSiteNews that a group of
agents in SWAT gear arrived in 15 vehicles outside the family home at
around 7:05 a.m. She said the agents quickly surrounded the house and began
pounding on the door, demanding they open up. Houck reportedly tried to get the
agents to calm down, saying that his seven children were scared, but the agents
allegedly kept shouting.
Mrs. Houck stated: “They had big, huge rifles
pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house.”
She added, “The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and
traumatic.”
A spokesperson with the Philadelphia office of the
FBI partially rebutted the Houcks’ claims, saying SWAT was not involved with
the arrest of Houck.
The spokesperson told Fox News: “There are
inaccurate claims being made regarding the arrest of Mark Houck. No SWAT Team
or SWAT operators were involved. FBI agents knocked on Mr. Houck’s front
door, identified themselves as FBI agents and asked him to exit the residence.
He did so and was taken into custody without incident pursuant to an
indictment.”
What we know of the raid
on Roger Stone’s home gives us reason to believe the worst. The
sixty-six-year-old Stone was accused of a process crime, yet saw 29 heavily
armed agents, many with guns drawn, swarm his abode in the early morning hours,
cuff him, and drag him outside barefoot…terrifying his wife and dogs.
A senior FBI source admitted to Fox News that there
might have been 15-20 agents who arrived at the Houck family’s door with guns
out and-- at the ready. But the source claimed that the guns were never pointed
directly at Houck or any members of his family.
Incredibly, Houck is facing up to 11 years in
prison, three years of supervised release, and fines of up to $350,000,
according to Fox News.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented attack on pro-life people. Virtually anyone—and any entity-- who values life and considers
it a sacred gift to be cherished is being challenged, mocked, cancelled, fined,
or even imprisoned. Conversely, pro-abortion types can run amok with impunity,
knowing they won’t be held accountable for their actions.
Elites tell us that people are bad for the planet
and that we must reduce the number of humans inhabiting the Earth-- whether via
abortion, assisted suicide, or any number of other actions and policies. They
want to dramatically limit farming, and food production in general. They want
to do away with fossil fuels energy and allow countless numbers to
perish from extreme cold and heat. They imposed deadly lockdowns and mask and
vaccine mandates. It appears they may be on the verge of allowing mRNA vaccines
to be injected into cows/cattle, making it nearly impossible for most of us to keep
them from entering our bodies. They want us to eat bugs—and own nothing yet be happy. Their policies have directly or
indirectly led to increasing conflict and crime, more frequent near misses in
the air and train derailments on the ground. They have pushed to legalize heavily
THC-laden marijuana-- and even hard drugs-- in many states, even as they refuse
to close the U.S. southern border to try to stem the tide of fentanyl washing over the nation, killing more than a hundred
thousand folks annually.
It is clear that our current rulers
don’t respect life, let alone cherish it. They certainly don’t respect or value
the lives of those with whom they disagree. They are destroyers, not builders.
Many defend Satanists while mocking concerned parents and pro-lifers as
“extremists.”
Should we trust these folks? Should
we trust them with our own lives, or that of our loved ones?
Because, as things stand now,
we are doing just that.
