The wife of the Catholic pro-life activist finally spoke out about the raid on her home. Ryan-Marie Houck said that there were some many FBI vehicles in her yard that you could not see her grass. The mom says that her children, as well as her husband and herself, are all ‘traumatized’ after she says agents raided her home with guns drawn.
Mark Houck, an outspoken pro-life activist and author from Pennsylvania, was arrested early last Friday in front of his wife and seven children at his rural Kintnersville home in Bucks County after dozens of FBI agents showed up on his lawn and began pounding on their front door. In an exclusive interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday, Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie, recounted the moment she looked out her front window to find roughly 25 uniformed agents with guns and shields surrounding her front door.
“My entire front yard, you could barely see it, it was covered with at least 15 big trucks and cars,” the mother of seven said. “There were 20, 25, 30, men, women, completely in jackets with shields and helmets and guns. They were behind cars. It was something I would never expect to see on my front lawn.”
Ryan-Marie said the agents raided their home with “guns drawn,” on her family, describing in an earlier interview how they put her husband in “shackles” while her children watched in fear.
“It was devastating,” she told host Tucker Carlson. “As you can imagine, it’s hard to even express the victimization and how traumatized we all are due to this unnecessary thing that happened to us.”
Ryan-Marie said her children have been “crying” and are afraid to sleep alone since her husband’s arrest.
“The older ones, we can talk, we can cry. We’ve had some counseling, we have more counseling to do,” she told Tucker Carlson. “And the little ones, they’re scared. There’s a lot of crying and a lot of unrestful sleep. A lot of kids in our bed at night and in the morning.”
The website dedicated to the family’s fight detailed what started this whole plight:
“He would drive two hours every week to speak outside of abortion clinics for six to eight hours at a time, often bringing his twelve-year-old son.
But one day, a Planned Parenthood escort got in his young son’s face, ridiculing him, and Mark defended his son.
The escort already tried to sue Mark, but the District Court of Philadelphia threw out the case.
It’s since been picked up again by the Department of Justice and now this courageous pro-life hero is facing several charges and eleven years in prison for defending life and defending his family.” [Details below video]

The against Houck was dropped by local law enforcement, according to reports. The family lawyer added that Houck tried to turn himself in several times but they never received a response prior to the raid.
