Ralph Lang Arrested For Alleged Abortion Massacre Plot

NEW YORK -- A man has been arrested after traveling to Madison, Wis. with the alleged intention of killing abortion doctors.

Ralph Lang, 63, was charged by federal prosecutors Thursday for attempting to injure or intimidate a person who provides reproductive health services.

According to a Madison police incident report:

A 63-year old man was arrested by Madison Police Wednesday night after he discharged a handgun inside his motel room. The round hit two doors, but there were no injuries. The man immediately told motel staff about the gunfire, saying it was an accident. He offered to pay for damages.

Lang told Madison police that he had the gun "to lay out abortionists because they are killing babies."

This incident occurred days before the two-year anniversary of abortion doctor George Tiller's murder. Tiller was shot through the eye by Scott Roeder, who prosecutors found guilty of first degree murder. Roeder is now serving without the chance of parole for 52 years.

In February of this year, a law was proposed in South Dakota that would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killing those who present imminent harm to fetuses, which would legalize the murder of abortion doctors. A nearly identical bill was proposed in Nebraska a week after the South Dakota bill was shelved.
