Wisconsin man charged with attempt to kill Planned Parenthood doctor
Source: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan

The Dane County Circuit Court charged a man with attempted first-degree intentional homicide on Friday after he allegedly told police officers he planned to kill abortion providers in Wisconsin.

Sixty-three year old Ralph W. Lang allegedly planned to shoot an abortion provider at a Planned Parenthood in Madison and then target an abortion clinic in Milwaukee, according to The Wisconsin State Journal.

The anti-abortion group Wisconsin for Life condemned Lang in a statement.

"The man who was apprehended, Ralph Lang, briefly volunteered in educational efforts with the Marshfield chapter of Wisconsin Right to Life about five or six years ago,” Barbara Lyons, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life, said. “He held no official position with the chapter and to our knowledge expressed no plans to commit a violent act. If he had done so, Wisconsin Right to Life would have immediately reported him to the authorities."

2. It's always right wing nutter men
Not that it would be right if it was a right wing nutter woman, but right wing nutters tend to LOVE taking things into their own hands via violence.
