    Philadelphia couple explains how arrested pro-life activist Mark Houck saved their baby: 'Thank God'

    Mark Houck, was protesting at a planned parenthood office. Another man-(from PP) told Houck
    (From the link) The arrest reportedly resulted from an altercation Houck had with a Planned Parenthood escort in Philadelphia in October 2021, when he was accused of pushing a 72-year-old man outside the clinic after the escort allegedly verbally harassed Houck's 12-year-old son.
    I don't know the full story - but I get the feeling the PP escort told Houck to get away from the door. He had just convinced a woman NOT to go in for an abortion! --

    Now, my thinking is that once he was asked to stop blocking the door - he should have done so.
    Granted the PP escort was wrong for the verbal harassment.

    So what are your thoughts?

    I think it depends on the context.

    It's a valid and legal arrest according to the law of the U.S Government if we believe whomever has the bigger stick makes the laws.

    It's an invalid and illegal arrest according to the law of God as He tells us to defend the weak and innocent.

    So if you're a U.S pagan or secularist it's great. If you're a Christian it's not.
