An abortion rights activist was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for firebombing an anti-abortion building in Madison, Wisconsin, in May 2022.

Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, pleaded guilty in December to throwing two Molotov cocktails through the windows of Wisconsin Family Action on May 8, 2022. The attack happened shortly after the leak of the United States Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which concluded that the Constitution does not provide a right to abortion. The bombing appeared to be an act of retaliation for the decision.
