Jurors deadlocked in case of pro-life activist facing 11 years for allegedly pushing abortion clinic volunteer

January 29, 2023


Deadlocked jurors are set to reconvene Monday in the case against a Pennsylvania pro-life activist who faces up to 11 years in prison for allegedly pushing a Planned Parenthood escort during a clash outside an abortion clinic.

Mark Houck, 48, was arrested by the FBI last September in front of his family at his home in rural Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, on charges that he violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during an altercation he had with the escort in Philadelphia in October 2021.

Houck pleaded not guilty to violating the FACE Act, which prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.”

Houck, a Catholic who routinely engaged in prayerful protests outside abortion clinics, was accused of pushing 72-year-old Bruce Love after the escort allegedly yelled at Houck’s 12-year-old son. Both Houck and his son testified during the trial last week.  .  .

Mark Houck had been arrested by the FBI nearly a year after this alleged event occurred.  This order came straight from the Biden regime.  He was handcuffed in front of his family and taken away on federal charges by FBI agents last September for a Oct 2021 incident.

BREAKING: Pro-life activist Mark Houck was just found NOT GUILTY on federal FACE Act charges brought on him by Biden's DOJ for pushing a Planned Parenthood escort who threatened his son while he was sidewalk counseling.

Merrick Garland and Kristen Clarke can hold this L.

MARK HOUCK ACQUITTED: Atty. Peter Breen reaction, "Mark and his family are now free of the cloud that the Biden administration threw upon them. The Biden Department of Justice's intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith has been put in its place." @EWTNNewsNightly

YAYZ!  PRAISE GOD!

'Not guilty' is better than a mistrial.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
