(CNSNews.com) -- Mark Houck, a pro-life father who was charged with violating federal law outside an abortion clinic by pushing a pro-abortion activist away from his young son, was found not guilty by a jury on Tuesday. In reaction, conservatives and pro-life advocates cheered the decision on social media and denounced the Biden Justice Department for targeting “pro-life activists.”

A jury on Monday found Mark Houck, the pro-life advocate and father of seven who faced 11 years in prison, not guilty of a federal violation related to an encounter with a Planned Parenthood clinic escort in Philadelphia. 

Pro-life activist and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck was found not guilty on Monday on federal assault charges brought by Biden's DOJ.

On Monday, a jury acquitted a Catholic father and pro-life activist after the federal government had brought trumped-up charges against him for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances or FACE Act. The decision was the right one because the case should never have been brought in the first place. It was a clear example of this administration’s anti-religious bigotry and its willingness to stretch the law to meet its ideological ends.

The U.S. Department of Justice has announced the arrest of an Illinois man a little over a week after he allegedly set fire to a Planned Parenthood facility.
