Donations have been coursing into a GiveSendGo crowdfunding account for one pro-life activist and father of seven who was officially taken into custody and had his family home rushed and raised by a group of almost 30 agents of the FBI this past Friday.
As the leader of a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk counseling for the various abortion clinics throughout Philadelphia, Mark Houck was fairly obviously targeted by the Department of Justice, under the leadership of Old Uncle Joe, due to an incident that took place over a year ago involving his then 12-year-old son while at an abortion facility run by Planned Parenthood.
Houck rushed to guard his son against an overly aggressive Planned Parenthood escort that was aggressively harassing the pre-teen, explained Pennsylvania pro-life activist Ashley Garecht, highlighting that the case was outright dismissed by a federal court out of Philadelphia when the escort attempted to press charges against the father.
“We will not back down, we will not stop fighting to protect the lives of Pennsylvania’s unborn children, and we WILL NOT TOLERATE the harassment of our leaders by a corrupt and politicized justice system,” expressed the GiveSendGo page set up to support Houck.
The overall goal of this particular fundraiser is to bring in at least $75,000 for the wife of the activist, Ryan-Marie Houck — and as seen this past Sunday morning, the fund shows that over $74,000 had already been amassed via donations.
Ashley and Joe Garecht were the authors of the crowdfunding page. It is noteworthy that the couple’s pair of daughters back in 2019, who were at the time 13 and 15 years old, were aggresively harassed by then-State Rep. Brian Sims (D) for an extended period of time as they prayed for unborn children just outside of the abortion clinic in Pennsylvania.
The crowdfunding page explains that Houck’s son was being harassed and the activist stepped in to protect his child.
“Last year, Mark and his son were praying in front of the [Planned Parenthood] at 12th and Locust,” states the page. “When one of the escorts began harassing Mark’s son they walked down the street away from the entrance to the building. The escort followed them, and when he continued yelling at Mark’s son, Mark pushed him away.”
“It’s all on video,” states the page. “But that hasn’t stopped Planned Parenthood and the Biden Administration. With no prior warning, and in spite of the fact that Mark is represented by an attorney, Biden’s Justice Department sent a fully armed SWAT team into a home full of young children at daybreak, to arrest a father for protecting his son.”
The Garechts claim that the funds gathered via this campaign “will go to help the family with any necessary expenses.”
“Your generosity is greatly appreciated,” stated the couple. “Let’s show the Houck family they are not alone, while we show Planned Parenthood and its militant pro-abortion allies that the pro-life community will not be silenced by fear and intimidation.”
