The FBI’s recent visit to the childhood home of pro-life activist Elise Ketch sent shockwaves across the country. Not only did the FBI arrive at her mother’s doorstep, but they were also heard placing veiled threats such as “She’s not in any trouble” when asked about their purpose of their visit. Such behaviour presents an alarming lack of respect for human rights and an all too familiar overreach of power.
The visit came just two months after the arrest of pro-life activist and author, Mark Houck, who was arrested in front of his wife and seven children outside their Pennsylvania home. The raid involved roughly 25 uniformed agents with “guns drawn”, sparking a massive outcry over its unnecessary severity.
The question that we can’t help but ask is: what’s really going on here?
Ketch contends that the FBI’s actions were in response to Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) member, Lauren Handy, being indicted under the FACE Act and is being prosecuted by the federal government. It’s assumed that they aimed to collect information from Ketch to build up their case, though the agents were reluctant to divulge any details. This hypothesis isn’t too far-fetched when you consider that the FBI has previously hesitated to investigate crimes against pro-life pregnancy centers by the abortion industry.
At the same time, it’s possible that the FBI views Ketch as a threat and was merely attempting to intimidate her into backing down from her activism. Despite their assurances that Ketch wasn’t in any trouble, their visit left a lasting impression that would no doubt frighten many.
Truth be told, this situation speaks volumes about the current state of our government. Instead of protecting the rights of the people, they are using their authority to infringe upon them. It’s absolutely unacceptable that citizens should be subject to such a blatant violation of their human rights and it’s time the government was held accountable for its actions.
Ketch expressed her thoughts on the matter in a statement: “The most prevalent domestic threat to our country is the murder of thousands of preborn people by abortion each day. It is not terrorism to nonviolently intervene and rescue these powerless children before their slaughter. I’m willing to risk my own freedom and sacrifice my rights in order to secure theirs.”

Ketch’s determination and courage sets a strong example for all of us and serves as a reminder that we cannot allow our government to get away with bullying its citizens. We must stop political corruption in the FBI and refuse to back down in the face of such injustice.
