PERPETRATOR OF WISCONSIN FAMILY ACTION HEADQUARTERS FIREBOMBING SIGNS PLEA AGREEMENT

"This is a hate crime and an act of domestic terrorism on Wisconsin Family Action. Pro-Life Wisconsin stands with Wisconsin Family Action as they work to achieve justice for the family and the pre-born. Hate crimes in this and any form cannot be tolerated as they are used to strike fear in victims to silence their constitutionally protected free speech in the public forum. We welcome maximum sentencing for all guilty parties." - Dan Miller ~ State Director ~ Pro-Life Wisconsin

Back in May of 2022, a terrible tragedy took place. Thirty-year-old Hridindu Roychowdhury firebombed the offices of Wisconsin Family Action in Madison. Fortunately, at the time, no employees were actually on the premises. He was finally arrested and indicted, as DNA was discovered on the scene and evidence recovered at his own home. Sadly, since that time, over one hundred pro-life organizations, churches and crisis pregnancy centers have been attacked across our nation.

Roychowdhury, with assistance from his attorneys, entered a guilty plea to the Court on November 20, 2023. He admitted to spray painting this horrid statement on the outside of Wisconsin Family Action building: If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either". He further consents that he created two Molotov cocktails; ignited one and threw it into the windowsill - whereby causing said fire. He is due back in Court on December 1, 2023. The actual sentence for this atrocity is anywhere from five to twenty years in prison.

Let us all pray that these actions of hatred and lack of respect for human life shall cease to exist in our country.

ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL BLOCKS EXTREME ABORTION BALLOT MEASURE PUSHED BY FAR-LEFT ACTIVISTS: (LifeSiteNews) – “The attorney general of Arkansas rejected the wording of a radical pro-abortion ballot initiative pushed by a far-left activist group trying to undo the state’s near-total abortion ban. In an opinion on Tuesday, Arkansas Republican Attorney General Tim Griffin said that he could not approve the popular name and ballot title for a proposed constitutional ‘Arkansas Reproductive Healthcare Amendment’ because of internal contradictions and ‘ambiguities.’ ‘I must reject your popular name and ballot title due to ambiguities in the text of your proposed measure that prevent me from ensuring that the ballot title you have submitted, or any ballot title I would substitute, is not misleading,’ Griffin wrote. ‘Your proposed popular name is tinged with partisan coloring and misleading because your proposal is solely related to abortion, not ‘reproductive healthcare’ generally,’ he charged.” Read the full story here.

JACKSON’S ONLY ABORTION PROVIDER IS SHUTTING ITS DOORS DUE TO HIGH COSTS: (KHOL/Jackson Hole Community Radio) – “After thirty years in the business, the Women’s Health and Family Care clinic is closing down next month due to rising costs, such as rent. It is the only clinic that provides abortions in the region, and its closure may mean a six-week gap in pregnancy-ending care. For that time, the closest in-person abortion provider will be more than four hours away, 280 miles, in Casper.” Read the full story here.

CDC REPORT SHOWS ABORTION PILL IS BEING PRESCRIBED PAST FDA LIMITS: (Live Action) – “The abortion pill is likely being prescribed past the approved U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) gestational limit of 70 days/10 weeks, which could result in failed abortions, according to the latest abortion surveillance published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This seems to confirm that bad actors within the abortion industry are openly flouting the FDA’s approved limit for the chemical abortion pill regimen by prescribing abortion-inducing drugs into the second trimester of pregnancy.” Read the full story here.

ABORTION ADVOCATES SET SIGHTS ON CONSTITUTIONAL ‘RIGHT’ TO KILL PREBORN CHILDREN IN MONTANA: (Live Action) – “Abortion advocates last week filed a proposed constitutional amendment that would solidify a ‘right’ to abortion in the state’s constitution. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana submitted the ballot initiative language, which reads, ‘This constitutional amendment prohibits the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability.’ Earlier this year, the Montana Supreme Court ruled that killing preborn human beings is protected under the Constitution’s right to privacy. However, abortion advocates are pushing for the constitutional amendment in order to cement the state’s pro-abortion stance.” Read the full story here. (Warning: Abortion victim images below.)
