Early in the morning of September 23, 2022, pro-life activist Mark Houck was awakened by the nightmare of 25 armed FBI agents banging on his door. They gained entry, held his family at gunpoint and took him into federal custody on charges he violated the “Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The issue stemmed from an incident in October of the prior year (2021) when an abortion activist confronted Mr. Houck and his son while peacefully protesting.
Bruce Love, a 72-year-old volunteer at a Philadelphia Planned Parenthood began shouting at Houck and his son, aggressively in his face.
Mr. Houck shoved Mr. Love out of the way, and the abortion industry used the shove to claim Houck committed violence and federal law enforcement got involved.
Today, Mark Houck was found not guilty of the federal charges, by a jury in Pennsylvania.
(Fox News) – […] Houck was arrested in his home by multiple FBI agents in September 2022. U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, celebrated the news of Houck’s acquittal with a tweet. “Good. Begs question of the $48 billion we give to DOJ…,” he wrote.
Shortly after Houck’s arrest last fall, his attorney Peter Breen told Fox News Digital that his client’s arrest was an “outrageous abuse of power” from the Department of Justice that was intended to intimidate pro-life Americans.
“The message from the Biden Department of Justice is pure intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith,” said Breen, senior counsel of the Thomas More Society. “Why in the world would you send this phalanx of officers heavily armed to this family’s home, violate the sanctity of their home, frighten their children? Why would you do that, other than just to send a message?
Bill Devlin, a pastor who has ministered with Houck for more than 20 years, told The Christian Post last year that appeared federal prosecutors were “stretching the statute of the FACE Act.” (more)
Mr. Houck attorney’s response: “We are, of course, thrilled with the outcome,” stated Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation. “Mark and his family are now free of the cloud that the Biden administration threw upon them. We took on Goliath – the full might of the United States government – and won. The jury saw through and rejected the prosecution’s discriminatory case, which was harassment from day one. This is a win for Mark and the entire pro-life movement. The Biden Department of Justice’s intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith has been put in its place.”

We know the DOJ and many of the Fed and State Courts are no longer even pretending to be a 2-tier system. They are broken and are gleefully indicting and attacking political defendants at will. They are the “legal” version of the Scorpion gang that showed no mercy on their human target.
Many of the jurors in carefully selected jurisdictions have been hijacked by these powerful legal forces but not all; as this Pennsylvania jury proved. The despicable case against Mark Houck was especially egregious and unjust because he was targeted due to his politics (anti abortion) and his Christian faith in general which is the feared enemy of the pernicious lefty agenda.
One of our most serious problems that we have in the country is biased jurors. A trial held in the District of Colombia would have resulted in a guilty verdict for this defendant because the jury pool is completely biased. They would find any Dem not guilty who committed the same offense that they would quickly find a Republican guilty of.
Not guilty but in debt to lawyers for 20 years thanks to the DOJ. That cost for fighting the government intimidates as much as the corrupt FBI agents raiding your home.
We who are Free can send $$ to help reduce the burden.
Best news in a very long time.
Take THAT Merrick Garland & Goons-Gone-Wild-Squadrons.
God bless Mark Houck, his family, and his work to save infants’ lives.
Now you need to sue them for deprivation of rights under the color of authority.
Retaliation for first amendment free speech.
And strip all of them included office employee/supervision of immunity. This decision did not come from the field for 25 officers to show up.
I agree, a countersuit is definitely in order.
Exactly, unless that 72 year old male was trying to get an abortion this is nothing but malicious prosecution.
It would be a great mistake not to seek compensation/damages.
This will only stop or diminish these tactics IF THE LAWSUITS ARE AGAINST EVERY INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THE L.E. TEAMS THAT RAIDED HIS HOME, AND ARE SUCCESSFUL.
Such good news.
Mildly surprised the DOJ didn’t try to move the trial to DC where they’d have a friendly pool to serve as jurors.
As they say, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Not today Satan! That has a good ring to it. It rhymes with FJB.
One of sundance’s best expressions.
Leftists demanding the right to kill babies……
Legally….
They also demand the right to censor anyone believing that the killing of babies is not acceptable social interaction…
Who would have thought that our culture would come to this?
One answer. satan…
Only one possessed by a demon would kill their unborn child
These women may not realize it now, but when they kill their gifts from God, a bit of them dies as well.
I very much suspect in their later years, they will come to know it.
We can only hope!
Its fascinating to me, MR… women screaming for their rights, wearing their appalling, vulgar costumes.
And yet, they will kill their daughters without a second thought, denying those precious little ones THEIR rights as the women they will never grow up to be.
I would be very interested to see that put to these unthinking, selfish creatures who can’t see further than tomorrow…and see if they can understand the terrible irony of their positions.
Hopefully, the court case didn’t bankrupt him.
By the sound of that glowing professional plug for the defense attorney, I doubt they were charging him a whole lot.
I am assuming the thomas moore society did it for free and they paid the defense attorney. I remember them saying they were putting all resources unto this case.
The Thomas More Society, like the ACLJ and the Judicial Watch, takes on cases for people who cannot handle it and while they DO ask for funds, they definitely are not out to profit on these cases because so many are just enormously expensive. They really depend on private funding from citizens.
That is correct. It cost us a good deal but we did not charge Mark a dime. We have a few more of these cases against the DOJ still on the docket elsewhere.
I pray for your success. And then true justice to spread like wildfire.
True, they’re still representing David Dadaelian, who’s been through the “legal” wringer and still is.
I received an email supposedly from Houck’s attorney asking for a donation.
I am not against supporting conservative causes, but there are so many grifters out there.
I wish that our side could have a something like a BBB for conservatives, like a Conservative Business Bureau (CBB) or a Better Conservative Business Bureau (BCBB), or a website that gives organizations liberty scores. Someway to screen out the grifters.
I don’t want to support a grifter pretending to represent the attorney who took the case, like the RNC does with candidates.
The solution for the Winred/RNC grift is a correctly run fund of our own, run by an honest person.
I have already made a suggestion about that on here, several times.
I have used GiveSendGo which is an alternative to GoFundMe, and is based on freedom and faith.
They have raised over $400,000 on behalf of the Houcks. Take a look, and give it some consideration as we attempt to direct our efforts against the satanic that is permeating our world.
They have helped in a great many instances where people need help.
I am ready to lay down my life for a man who denies G_d that he might find Him! Can we not agree our government is a stinking, rotting corpse?
Thank you for info on GiveSEndGo. Samaritan Purse is also a good source. There is one other but name escapes me at the moment.
It’s the Thomas More Society that was defending him and likely to file the countersuit. Hardly a grifter, greatly worthy of donations.
What goes around

The best thing is that our tax dollars paid for these animals to go after him. Can we get a refund?
Yep, take it from the pockets of those who authorized and executed the raid on Mr. Houck. Sue these pond scum into oblivion both on behalf of Mr. Houck and the taxpayers who are repeatedly fleeced for these political assassination attempts!
When others see that they could be held personally responsible for these unlawful raids, it will put a damper on their enthusiasm to participate in such conduct in the future.
Even the U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert himself raised the possibility that the case should never have been brought to trial, asking the prosecution Thursday whether the federal FACE Act didn’t “seem to be stretched a little thin here”.
Exactly, since when do 72 year old men need to get an abortion.
no doubt, a transhumanism goal…
The truth is like a lion.
You don’t have to defend it.
Let it loose.
It will defend itself.
St. Augustine
File under Reason #52 to defund the FBI.
Only 52? Put a few more zeros on that.
thats 52 just for today!
Has anyone here noticed almost ALL CRIMES that belong under state and local jurisdiction are being over taken by fed LE?
George Floyd was a LOCAL MATTER. As well of Tyre. And many,any others. The feds are brought in for the sheer size and power they have, NOT because of jurisdiction.
Terrifying.
We need to have jurisdictions where the locals are focused enough to bust feral federals committing felonies and other crimes, stopped and arrested in real time.
Praise God!
Hopefully his family will recover from this insanity.
Abortion-the sacrifice of the demonic powers in today’s age
Amen!
It will strengthen them, I am convinced.
And the forces against them, governmental and satanic will hate that.
This is Excellent news! Thank you. Wonderful.
And the house judiciary committe should investigate the DOJ that brought these charges. Ask for emails etc on who made the decision.
No balls.
Actually, they are investigating it. They have already reached out to us.
Praise The LORD
We all know who the REAL Terrorist are don’t we…
Praise the Lord!
Great news! On the topic of abortion, Andrew Wilkow on Sirius/XM today was questioning, as any normal person would be, how anyone especially a nurse was capable of allowing a baby who survives an abortion to be put aside to die alone. I wanted to call in and remind him that if they let the child live it makes it impossible to claim the child is not a living human being.
I used to be of the opinion that they should televise one and make the voters who are pro-abortion watch it. Looking at the world today, if it was televised it would be celebrated and the reprobate media would sell advertising.
Good vs evil. Good won today.
Shame on ANY Federal Prosecutor who had anything to do with this case. Collecting their Federal for harassing honest law-abiding citizens. I hope God deals with them … fairly.
Collecting their Federal salary, pension, bonus, perks and benefits
That is great news but I wonder if they bankrupted him? That is what all the litigation is about to hurt people financially. See all of Pres Trump’s associates who have to hire lawyers and Pres trump himself.
The punishment is the process…Their goal is a broken human being in every sense of the word.. The process is the punishment. What better fear tactic? Bankrupt in every part of their heart, mind and soul.
It’s been going on since my foreseeable past. The light was shown on the Redress of grievance day prisoners. These Patriots have shown how broken the justice system has been for decades. The Patriot Act has allowed these usurping dictators legal carte blanc to treat the Republic inhumane and outside of the protection of our Constitutional rights. We must work hard to abolish the Patriot act and look at Amendment 17 for needed changes. The DOJ is on notice. There is much work to do, all of us have skin in this! We inundated dc gulag and finally got an abuser of prisoners taken away. By mere numbers of letters and calls…Consistency and truth of matters will get results. Patience is a virtue in a marathon~
Wonder if he can sue those who authorized the raid . Surely a point can be made that they were on a “frolic of their own”.
Amen! Alleluia! Deus Gratias!
The DOJ is out of control and I don’t see the GOPe reigning it in.
The GOP are useless. Like farting into a sock. Forget them, Time for a REPLACEMENT Party!
Im so happy for him and his family- and the pro-life movement.
My question- when does HE get justice for the violation of his civil rights and the rights of his family?
The violence, the danger these DOJ officials, FBI, AND local law enforcement officers who assisted in this raid put that family in is completely outrageous…. They should be ashamed & severely punished.
Should have NEVER gone to trial.
Praise the Lord. Mark did nothing wrong illegal or criminal. Thank goodness he is absolved of any wrongdoing.
They will continue. It’s our money spend
Wonderful news!
Ave Maria!
There is a song called Not Today–I will sing the Chorus when I feel I’m at the end of it & battling Satan or rather I shout it while talking to the Lord
Hillsong United – Not Today
Trouble won’t throw me
Won’t break me
Won’t scare me
No more
Fear must have thought I was faithless
When it came for my heart
‘Cause I got a song that will never die
I know Your love is the reason why
I’ll sing the night into the morning
I’ll sing the fear into Your praise
I’ll sing my soul into Your presence
Whenever I say Your Name
Let the devil know not today
Let it replace the battle hymn of the republic!
Two men get into a shoving match…
Doesn’t that law only apply when pregnant women or clinic personnel are denied access?
That’s how I read it!
Like that old saying ” You may beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride.” I consider it a form of lawfare.
Today is a good day because of this.
Never thought of it that way.
Excellent news! Praise God and blessings to Houck, his family, his lawyers and the jury for seeing the truth.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY Praise God Praise God Praise God Yahoo!!!
It. Is. Time. Wake . The. Fuxk. Up.
Pisses me off so badly that ppl would treat another person like this, but not too far a stretch considering they have no concern for the most innocent among us. Evil, just pure evil.
This is very Good News.
For those of you outsiders who come here to read our comments, if you support this activity upon innocent people, and heap it upon your murderous agenda to kill future generations of souls sent by God, just know the following:
You will one day answer to those generations face to face. They live. Everyone’s spirit lives eternal in nature. You cannot snuff out God’s creations. You cannot even snuff out yourself.
You’ll be facing those people. God will be there too.
Right on!
Thank you Lord!
Indeed….Put on the full armor of God.
God works in mysterious ways. Meritless Garland and his FBI goon squad thwarted and Houck is free.
Back in the bad old days of Russia Collusion I got sick and tired of hearing Hannity claim that it was just the upper echelons of the FBI that were the problem. We know now that more than a few FBI guys are willing tactical up and arm up to raid unarmed civilians at their homes or simply running errands.
Biden’s new Stasi…the DOJ and the FBI. Hey Meritless, maybe try going after real criminals from now on.
Praise God for this decision!
When the veep said, “…Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” the other day, I was appalled! Such ignorance of our Founding documents! FUNDAMENTALS, PEOPLE!
GREAT interview with Mark Houck! Mark’s brilliant wife told him that if he took a “deal” with the Feds, don’t come home.

Peter McIlvenna On House Of Lords Outlawing Prayers Over Abortion Clinics With “Safe Space” Law

What a classy guy- the person who gave the original order to send men armed with shotguns to his home, drag him out and arrest him in front of his wife and children should APOLOGIZE to him – and to the rest of America- I doubt that whomever made that order learned anything though- because the left seems to feel that any overreaching power they use is justified since they believe that anyone who doesn’t believe what they believe is EVIL- and needs to be stopped. So happy that this man was exonerated (as he should have been- )..and I am hoping that this verdict makes these power mad lefties stop and think……
Let the lawsuit begin.
Every one involved in the raid and the abortion clinic. They are after all responsible for the actions of the people that work there, paid or not.
Nail them all to the cross.
Praise the good Lord!
The process is the punishment. Months of stress and worry, legal expenses into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, name drug through the mud, loss of privacy and then in the end the DOJ says, “oops, our bad.” You’re innocent. The individual lawyers at the DOJ that pushed this crap as a case need to be prosecuted for harassment PERSONALLY. See how they like the wheels of justice turning on THEM for a change.
