Friend,

I need your immediate support to help the Thomas More Society defend a father-of-seven pro-life advocate against false criminal charges.

Please let me explain.

In the early morning of September 23, roughly twenty-five FBI agents wearing tactical gear threatened to break down the door of Mark Houck's home if he didn't let them in immediately.

With guns pointed at Mark, they hauled him off to jail while his wife and kids looked on, screaming.

Now he's facing multiple criminal charges and eleven years in federal prison due to an incident involving an aggressively abusive Planned Parenthood escort – which is why our team is representing him in court.

Can I count on your best gift of $40 or more to the MARK HOUCK DEFENSE FUND to help us give him the legal defense he deserves?

Mark is a dedicated pro-life author, speaker, and sidewalk counselor.

He would drive two hours every week to stand outside of abortion clinics for six to eight hours at a time, praying the Rosary and offering support to women who are so desperate they think they have no alternative than to abort their babies, often bringing his twelve-year-old son.

But one day, a Planned Parenthood escort got in his young son's face, ridiculing him and his father in very vulgar and aggressive ways.

Mark defended his son by shoving the escort away after having repeatedly asked him to stop the abuse.

The escort wanted him prosecuted for assault and battery for shoving him away from Mark's young son, but the District Court of Philadelphia threw out the case.

So, Biden's Department of Justice charged Mark with violating the federal FACE Act…and now this courageous pro-life hero faces up to eleven years in federal prison for advocating for life and for defending his family.

We're pulling out all the stops to make sure the DOJ and the abortion clinic escort who are trying to destroy Mark and his family don't get away with this.

But this is going to be a long, costly affair, and I need your help.

That's where your emergency donation to the MARK HOUCK DEFENSE FUND comes in – by giving today you can stand with Mark in his hour of need.

Make no mistake, friend, Mark's arrest was a targeted attack specifically intended to intimidate pro-lifers and people of faith.

The incident at the abortion clinic was so minor that the authorities refused to press charges and when the escort filed charges himself, his case was thrown out.

Fortunately for Mark and his family, if anyone has experience defending pro-life heroes against Biden's DOJ and Planned Parenthood, it's us.

My name is Tom Brejcha and I'm the president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society – the not-for-profit law firm defending Mark Houck.

We're proud to have defended many renowned leaders in America's pro-life movement such as Joe Scheidler and the Pro-Life Action League, David Bereit, David Daleiden, Shawn Carney and 40 Days for Life, Abby Johnson, the Susan B. Anthony List, Lila Rose and Live Action, the March for Life, and many more. But without the help of generous donors, none of our crucial work would be possible.

Because the reality is, while you can't be the one personally defending Mark in the courtroom, by donating you can help us vindicate this brave father and pro-life hero who is being ground through the system in an unjust prosecution.

Can I count on your gift of $40, $60, $100, or more to stand with Mark Houck today and fight back against the dark forces of Planned Parenthood?

I will be grateful for whatever you're able to send today. Whether it's $10, $40, $60, $250 or more…

…because time is of the essence.

We're expecting Mark's defense to cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.

To put it as bluntly as possible, Mark could be facing years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit, while his seven children grow up without him and his wife Ryan-Marie is forced to raise their family alone.

Not only that, but pro-life sidewalk counselors across the country may be deterred from going to the clinics out of concern that they, too, could end up in costly legal battles and even face federal charges simply for defending the unborn.

So, I do ask that you make your gift as soon as you can.

I've asked my staff to let me know as soon as we get your generous gift so I can let Mark know that you're standing with him.

I know Mark and his family will be deeply touched by your generous support.

May God bless you,
