>A Molotov cocktail was used against Wisconsin Family Action in Madison and did not ignite, but another fire was set, the police said.
>The headquarters of an anti-abortion group in Madison, Wis., was set on fire on Sunday morning in an act of vandalism that included the attempted use of a Molotov cocktail and graffiti that read "If abortions aren't safe then you aren't either," according to the police.
>No one in the group, Wisconsin Family Action, was in the building at the time, and there were no injuries reported. Although the Molotov cocktail that was thrown through a window failed to ignite, the vandal or vandals started another fire nearby, the authorities said. The fire burned part of a wall.
>The Madison Police Department did not say whether it had made any arrests or whether more than one person was involved.
>"We have made our federal partners aware of this incident and are working with them and the Madison Fire Department as we investigate this arson," the department said in a statement.
>The attack came nearly a week after the leak of a draft ruling by the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. Wisconsin has a law banning abortions that predates Roe by more than a century, but Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, has said he would block its implementation. Wisconsin Family Action is a nonprofit political advocacy group that promotes conservative policies on several issues, including abortion, within the Wisconsin state government.
