Wisconsin police are investigating whether the fire at anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action's headquarters on Sunday was the result of arson.
Authorities found remnants of at least one Molotov cocktail that didn't ignite. Over the weekend, group members said a Molotov cocktail may have started a fire in the building that had been vandalized.“It appears a specific non-profit that supports anti-abortion measures was targeted,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said in a statement."Our department has and continues to support people being able to speak freely and openly about their beliefs.
The attack drew national attention as the country grapples with the political fallout from a leaked Supreme Court draft decision. Although it isn't final, the draft signals the high court plans to overturn the precedents set in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which guarantee women a constitutional right to an abortion. On Monday, President Joe Biden"strongly" condemned the attack on the group.
.@POTUS strongly believes in the Constitutional right to protest. But that should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.So far, there have been no reports of injuries from the attack, and federal investigators have been briefed on the incident, according to police. Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers also condemned the attack.
