Pro-Lifer Facing Federal Charges for "Assaulting" a Clinic Escort | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A pro-life supporter who regularly prays outside of a Philadelphia abortion clinic is facing federal charges for allegedly assaulting a clinic escort. Pro-lifer Mark Houck is a Catholic father of 7. His family says he was arrested Friday by more than 2 dozen FBI agents who came to the door with their guns drawn. A senior FBI source told Fox News that the guns were not drawn and only around 15 to 20 agents were at the home. If convicted, Houck faces up to 11 years in prison. Washington Editor for the Spectator, Amber Athey, joins to share what she knows about this story. Meanwhile, a pro-life volunteer in Michigan was shot while going door to door. Over the summer, a pro-lifer in Kansas was assaulted while going door to door. Catholic News Agency says that since early May, there have been 86 attacks on churches and pro-life pregnancy centers. Athey discusses what she thinks this signals and whether she believes enough is being done to protect pro-lifers. She fills us in on what else she is following.
