Loading ...Mark Houck’s lawyers argue the law he’s accused of breaking doesn’t apply to his case during pretrial hearing
Interesting twist on Abortion Clinic case………Senator Ted Kennedy, chief sponsor of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, clearly stated that clinic escorts are excluded, because they do not provide reproductive health services in a facility.
Lawyers for Mark Houck, a pro-life life father of seven being prosecuted by the Biden administration, dropped bombshell evidence in defense of the pro-life advocate at a January 17, 2023, pretrial hearing in Philadelphia.
Thomas More Society attorneys produced new evidence – never before considered by a federal court – that when the United States Congress passed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, it expressly intended to exclude so-called “escorts” operating outside of abortion facilities from being encompassed by the FACE Act.
The Thomas More Society, filing on behalf of Houck in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, quotes Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), chief sponsor of the FACE Act. Kennedy clearly stated that clinic escorts are excluded, because they do not provide reproductive health services in a facility, as required under the FACE Act.
