Jadda and Jakeem, who have a daughter named Nevaeh, shared their story in a recently posted YouTube video by the Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia, praising Houck and pro-lifers for encouraging and supporting them.
“I had one hand on the door about to go into Planned Parenthood, and then Mark stopped us, and he was like, ‘You guys don’t have to do this,’” Jadda explained.
It was a moment that ended up changing everything. Jadda described how she had felt “shame and guilt” when she first found out she was pregnant and that others compounded those feelings.
“I just felt like I wasn’t ready,” she said. But Houck’s decision to step into the gap and help the couple overcome fear encouraged them to turn back, cancel the abortion, and have their baby.
“We talked to him and he really got through to us,” Jakeem said. “He opened my eyes to a lot of stuff.”
As Faithwire previously reported , the FBI used a major show of force last month to arrest Houck, 48, with dozens of agents reportedly descending on his home with guns drawn as Houck’s wife and children looked on in horror.The arrest over purported FACE Act violations has sparked a plethora of questions and claims of bias, mistreatment, and overreaction by authorities. The FACE Act protects abortion clinics and prevents people from using force or coercion to stop people from entering such establishments, though the nature of Houck’s case remains perplexing.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
