Remember when the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed under President Joe Biden, decided to use federal law enforcement as a weapon against the political weapons of the Democratic Party and strike back and the pro-life movement due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court?
I’m referencing the case of Mark Houck, a pro-life activist and father of seven children, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration for an alleged confrontation that supposedly happened outside of a baby murder mill — you might call it an “abortion clinic” — has just announced he is running for Congress. I almost guarantee this guy had no such intention until the federal law enforcement apparatus within our government made an enemy out of him. Congratulations, guys. Good work. Really.
According to the Daily Wire, “Houck, who was acquitted earlier this year after facing 11 years in prison for allegedly violating the FACE Act, a federal crime making it illegal to injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone due to their status as an abortion provider, is challenging incumbent Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District.”
“I have seen first-hand what an out of control government can do to its citizens. I will fight to protect all people and their rights under God & our Constitution. My platform is based on common sense,” Houck goes on to say say on the website for his campaign.
“Houck, who leads a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia, was prosecuted over an incident involving his then-12-year-old son at a Planned Parenthood abortion facility,” the report continued.
“I am running for Congress to further protect my family, those in the 1st district & the Republic. I will focus on restoring traditional values & principles that are central to the American identity, such as faith, family, & freedom of speech, religion, & the right to bear arms,” Houck explains.
Some of the issues that Houck highlights on the site includes his support of limited government, strong military, which he says is not a “social experiment program.” This, of course, is a zinger aimed at how the armed forces have been trying to brainwash members with all sorts of woke ideological teaching and meetings.
The current representative for the district, Fitzpatrick, formerly served in the FBI and did work as a federal prosecutor too. He has been in office since 2019 and is the head of the House subcommittee on national intelligence. The district in question covers an area located just north of Philadelphia, which includes Bucks County.
“I’ve known the Fitzpatrick family for a long time. I have the highest respect for the Fitzpatrick family. I honor his service to our country, but the time has come, I think, for a change in our district,” Houck said during an interview with The Church Militant website.
“During and after his prosecution, Republican lawmakers raised concerns over the aggressive approach federal authorities took in Houck’s case. In September 2022, FBI agents in 15 vehicles raided Houck’s residence, quickly surrounded the house, and began pounding on the door, demanding his family open up, his wife Ryan-Marie Houck told the Catholic News Agency,” the Daily Wire reported.
He spoke with House lawmakers in May, stating that he thinks the FBI raided his home as a means of humiliating him and “to scare my children, and to instill fear in pro-life America.”
“My children were downrange of many guns, and they screamed through the whole process,” Houck added. “The committee should know that they were traumatized.”
