Pro-lifer Mark Houck Acquitted by Federal Jury in Politically Motivated Trial" title="A Pennsylvania man arrested in a dawn raid last fall was acquitted Monday of charges that he had pushed a Philadelphia abortion-clinic escort because he didn’t like the function that the man was performing.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Mark Houck, a Catholic sidewalk counselor and father of seven, with two violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for allegedly shoving abortion escort Bruce Love in 2021 purely out of anti-abortion animus.
Houck’s attorneys countered that their client had responded physically to Love only after the latter repeatedly, and over Houck’s objections, verbally harassed Houck’s then-12-year-old son, who was accompanying him.
