Men who want to see the end of abortion but need inspiration should look to Mark Houck, a pro-life father of seven whose trial continues for allegedly violating a federal law.
Furthermore, he modeled for his children Christian values; the trumped-up federal charge comes from an incident in which an aggressive Planned Parenthood volunteer kept harassing Mark and his son. He calmly told the man to back off, according to court testimony, before ultimately defending himself in an appropriate manner. He did the right thing and defended his family from the aggressive, vulgar man.
Houck brought his son with him and modeled for him how to reach out to abortion-minded women with compassion. His son, Mark Jr., only 13 years old, tookin the federal trial, which indicates his father raised him to be mature and honest and withstand a pressure-filled environment. Writing before the trial, Houck showed how to accept the burdens of his criminal charge. “I am guilty of being a strident pro-lifer who zealously pursues abortion minded men and women and the lives of pre-born children,” heon Jan. 16. “I am guilty of being a father who loves his children and will protect them at all costs. So, weep not for me, but for my children. Pray for their strength and courage these next days.
This is the type of person pro-life men should aspire to be. Any man who is serious about fighting for pre-born life and helping women and children should model their lives in such a way that he could be convicted of being a “strident pro-lifer” like the father now on trial. Abortion, possibly now more than ever, is one of the most contentious issues in the United States. But real men such as Mark Houck do not shy away from fights because they are difficult; instead, they lean into the battle and face whatever trials come from their advocacy.Matt Lamb is a contributor to the and has previously worked for Students for Life of America and Turning Point USA
