A graffiti saying "if abortions aren't safe, then you aren't
either" was also left behind, the Wisconsin Family Action's
office said in a statement, blaming a "leftist anarchist group"
for the attack.
The Madison Police Department said it was investigating the
Sunday morning fire as arson, adding that the fire was quickly
put out by the local fire department. The department did not
identify any suspects and said no injuries were reported.
The police said a molotov cocktail was thrown inside the
building but that it had not ignited. "It appears a separate
fire was started in response," the police said.
Wisconsin Family Action says on its website it seeks to advance
"Judeo-Christian principles." It supports marriage as being
"between one man and one woman" and the promotion of abstinence
in the secondary school system. The group says it also opposes
laws that support abortion.
The draft opinion, authored by conservative Justice Samuel Alito
and published on May 2 by the Politico news outlet, would uphold
a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy
and overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that
legalized abortion nationwide.
The leak set off a political firestorm, with abortion-rights
supporters staging rallies outside the courthouse and at
locations around the United States, as well as an internal
crisis at the nation's top judicial body where an investigation
into the source of the unprecedented disclosure is underway.
The leak comes months before voters go to the polls for
congressional midterm elections in November.
