Mark Houck

Mark Houck is a pro-life activist known for his involvement with the organization 40 Days for Life. He gained national attention after being arrested by the FBI in 2021 for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during a protest outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. Following a high-profile trial, he was acquitted by a jury in Philadelphia, but the incident sparked widespread outrage among pro-life advocates. Houck has since filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department, claiming excessive force during his arrest and a faulty investigation, and he continues to advocate for reforms in the Department of Justice.
