Pro-life activist sees the 'worst of humanity' while protesting at abortion clinics
Mark Houck joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the violence against pro-life advocates after two were brutally beaten outside a Planned Parenthood facility in Baltimore.
An active-duty Marine and another man were arrested Wednesday morning for allegedly using a Molotov cocktail to firebomb a Planned Parenthood in Southern California, federal authorities said.
Tibet Ergul, 21, and Chance Brannon, 23, an active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, were named in a criminal complaint.
The complaint alleges that Ergul and Brannon used an explosive to damage a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, about 45 miles south of Los Angeles, on March 13, 2022.
According to the complaint, the two men attacked the clinic around 1 a.m. that morning. The affidavit describes security videos showing two men wearing hooded sweatshirts and face masks as they approached the clinic.

The two men are accused of igniting and throwing a Molotov cocktail at the clinic entrance, causing a fire. The fire forced the clinic to close and cancel 30 appointments that day, the Justice Department said.
