Pro-life activist prosecuted by Biden admin, running for Congress

I will focus on restoring traditional values and principles that are central to the American identity ~Mark Houck

By Charlotte Hazard

Pro-life activist Mark Houck, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration’s Justice Department over a 2021 skirmish with a Planned Parenthood volunteer outside of a Pennsylvania abortion clinic, announced his campaign for Congress earlier this week.

“I have seen first-hand what an out of control government can do to its citizens,” Houck states on his campaign website. “I will fight to protect all people and their rights under God & our Constitution. My platform is based on common sense.”

Houck was acquitted by a federal jury after being charged with 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.” He was facing a possible 11 years in prison.

Houck had often spoken outside of abortion clinics, sometimes with his 12-year-old son present. He said he had  shoved the Planned Parenthood volunteer for invading his son’s personal space.

It was nearly a year later that Houck was arrested by the FBI at his home, in front of his family.

Houck will be challenging Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District.

“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 states.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
