The Biden administration’s indictment against pro-life activist Mark Houck contains details of his alleged offense that the pro-abortion complainant himself did not make in his original criminal complaint, in what appears to be an attempt to inflate the facts to justify making the case a federal matter.

Houck is the founder and president of The King’s Men, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe. He also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk counsel for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.
According to Houck’s family, outside one of the centers last year, Houck pushed 70-year-old pro-abortion activist Bruce Love, who had been harassing his then-12-year-old son. The family says Houck shoved the man away to protect the child from Love, who was verbally hostile and had intruded on his personal space, and though Love fell down he was uninjured.
The altercation, a local matter that had long since been tossed out of court when Love failed to appear for the hearing, somehow drew the interest of the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) under President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, which on the morning of September 23 sent a team of 25 to 30 FBI agents and around 15 vehicles to swarm their property.
Weapons drawn, “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it,” according to Mark’s wife Ryan-Marie. Frightening their children, the agents arrested Houck and took him away, charging him with violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, due to a claimed “ATTACK OF A PATIENT ESCORT.”
This week, The Federalist senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland obtained and reviewed a copy of Love’s private criminal complaint, revealing key discrepancies between it and the current federal indictment.
