KEVIN TRACY: 73 pro-life pregnancy centers and pro-life offices have been attacked, burned, and vandalized in the last five months. Many of these attacks; which include actual firebombings; constitute acts of domestic terrorism according the the DOJ's own definition. To date, the FBI has not made a single arrest or even a plea for more information that might help lead to arrests. Instead, the FBI has focused their attention on even the most minor of transgressions of pro-life protesters.

Mark Houck is a Pennsylvania father of seven, devout Catholic, and frequent pro-life protester along with his family. In September of 2021 (over a year ago), a 73-year-old patient-escort at a Planned Parenthood angrily confronted Houck's 12-year-old son by getting squarely in his face. Mark Houck stepped between them and pushed the patient-escort away from his child. The patient-escort fell down, but was uninjured and ultimately decided not to press charges.

Sometime later, the FBI began investigating the incident. Mark Houck and his attorneys have cooperated fully and already offered to surrender peacefully if an arrest warrant was issued. So, you can imagine the dismay of Mark Houck's family when, on Friday morning, the FBI sent 20 agents in body armor with riot shields and guns drawn to break down Mark Houck's door and arrest him at gunpoint in front of his children.

Undoubtedly, Mark Houck was in the wrong when he made physical contact with the instigator from Planned Parenthood. A frequent protester and devout Christian SHOULD know better than to do that. However, when you see someone dangerously close to your child and verbally assaulting them, instincts can take over and what happened is what can happen. However, the shove was relatively minor, nobody was hurt and it was instigated by the Planned Parenthood worker, so it was eventually dropped by all interested parties.

So the fact that the FBI even got involved here is pretty ridiculous, but sending 20 armored agents to arrest Houck at gunpoint in front of his family is beyond ridiculous and is just horrific.

Via social media, Bishop Strickland stated:

The description of this arrest sounds like it took place in a totalitarian state. A tragic unraveling of Justice in America... We must stand with men like Mark Houck who is willing to “hear the word of God & act on it”. Sadly this bravery is rare today. Mark is simply leading his family in respecting God’s law regarding the sanctity of life. To arrest him with a SWAT team is a sad act against truth.

To that end, I and the staff here at KTracy.com are donating to Mark Houck's legal fund and I encourage everyone to do the same.
