A Catholic anti-abortion activist was arrested during a raid of his house by a SWAT team with rifles drawn in full view of his family, including his children, his wife said.
Mark Houck, a well-known, 48-year-old, Catholic pro-life activist who partakes in sidewalk counseling around abortion clinics, was arrested for alleged violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, according to a report from LifeSite News. During the incident in question last year, the Catholic activist pushed a hostile pro-abortion activist away from his son after the man made repeated obscene statements to the 12-year-old, according to Houck's wife, Ryan-Marie.
The Justice Department says the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act"makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate, and interfere with anyone because that person is a provider of reproductive health care." The victim, according to DOJ, was a 72-year-old man identified in the Indictment as “B.L.," who was a volunteer escort at the reproductive healthcare clinic.
The agents then told the family that they were there to arrest Mark Houck, and when Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, they replied by saying “that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.”
