Palm Springs IVF clinic bomber ID’d as Guy Edward Bartkus, a ‘pro-mortalist’ who opposed people being born ‘without their consent’

A 25-year-old self-described “pro-mortalist” has been identified as the attacker who detonated a car bomb outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs Saturday — killing himself and injuring four other people, according to sources.

Guy Edward Bartkus, of Twentynine Palms, is believed to have detonated an explosive device in his car outside the American Reproductive Centers, which performs IVF treatments, egg collections and other procedures, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Bartkus allegedly described his fanatical pro-death beliefs in written and recorded manifestos as being against bringing people into the world without their consent to spare them from future suffering, KCAL news reported.

On Saturday, FBI agents swarmed his home and evacuated the neighborhood, declaring it a “blast zone” over concerns that he could have left explosives behind, ABC7 reported.

This story was news when the media thought it was some abortion “clinic” being attacked. It will soon disappear now that the attacker is known as a nutcase.

Never heard of a pro-mortalist but not surprised. It’s just pro-abortion taken to the next level. This is the kind of warped thinking you get when leftist ideas are taken to their logical conclusions.

The tentacles of many leftisms. This is truly extreme but the left certainly hates birth, life and the soul.

Still wondering if this has anything to do with the clinic’s clients, and whether or not the natalist angle is a red herring....

You typed: "No one is born giving consent."
But there is one notable exception:

Jesus Christ

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Phil 2:5-8)

and just to be complete (in case anybody needs to know...):

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:9-11)

"I think he did....more than likely by accident."

He could have simply killed himself somewhere else, and not injured others, while taking out an IVF building. These people are selfish bastards. I hope his soul rots in hell.

"You do ask to be born and even to choose your parents, according to Mormons. At least that is how I understand their worldview."

Mormon men used to be able to pick as many young girls to defile as they wanted too. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were fanatics.

"In a more sane time period, people like these would have been in mental hospitals."

Mario and Andrew Cuomo closed many psych centers in NY State, and those residents ended up in the state's prison system. Then Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul started closing state prisons, so not only are criminals who haven't served their full court-ordered sentences back out on the street, so are the nutcases once again. And Hochul wants to close 5 more prisons this year because she can't get anyone to take the Correctional Officer's exam. She just fired 2,000 officers who went out on a "wild cat" strike because they were being forced to work multiple 24 hour shifts. She now wants to lower the age from 21 to 18 to take the test. The job has always required weapons training, including chemical weapons because uniformed Correctional staff have Peace Officer status, but in NY State, you can't get a gun license, or own a weapon unless you're 21.

He hates Pro-lifers according to his manifesto. Don’t let the press gaslight and whitewash this attack.

But he's willing to KILL people "without their consent", yes? Another person with absolutely no common sense.

Since this “Guy” is slightly to the Left of Maxine Water’s this story is in the process of being 86’d.
