U.S.

Man Arrested for Allegedly Firebombing Wisconsin Pro-Life Group

The Wisconsin State Journal reports

A Madison man was arrested at an airport in Boston and charged Tuesday with the May 2022 firebombing of the Madison headquarters of anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action. . . .

In the early hours of May 8, 2022, someone attempted to throw a Molotov cocktail through the window of Wisconsin Family Action’s office at 2801 International Lane near the Dane County Regional Airport, authorities said at the time.

The improvised explosive failed to ignite, but a separate fire was started. The incident came days after a leaked U.S. Supreme Court decision that presaged the overturning of the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade.

The outside of the building also was sprayed with graffiti depicting an anarchy symbol, a coded anti-police slogan and the phrase, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.”

After the Dobbs draft was leaked last May, more than 100 pro-life organizations or churches were attacked by vandals or arsonists, and a would-be assassin armed with a gun, a knife, and burglary tools showed up outside Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home.
