Issues ‘Anti-natalist’ IVF clinic bombing suspect wanted ‘war against pro-lifers’
Live Action News ^ | May 18, 2025 | Nancy Flanders

In what the FBI is calling an “intentional act of terrorism,” an explosive device inside a car was detonated on Saturday outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. The explosion, felt more than a mile away from the blast site, killed one person and injured four others, and is being referred to as the “largest bombing ever investigated in Southern California.”

Los Angeles FBI field office assistant director Akil Davis said at a news conference on Sunday that the suspect is believed to be 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus, whom law enforcement said had “stated in writings or recordings that he was against bringing people into the world against their will,” according to CBS News. “The subject had nihilistic ideations and this was a targeted attack,” Davis said. “We believe he was attempting to livestream it and yes, that is also part of our investigation.”

Bartkus described himself as a “promortalist” and “anti-natalist,” and allegedly wrote a manifesto that includes an explanation for the attack, which states in part, “I think we need a war against pro-lifers. It is clear at this point that these people aren’t only stupid, they simply do not care about the harm they are perpetuating by being willing agents for a DNA molecule.”

The explosion, which took place around 11 a.m. on Saturday, failed to kill any of the human embryos stored inside.

Bartkus also left a 30-minute audio recording that allegedly explains why he carried out the attack.

“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.” He added, “I’m very against [IVF], it’s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?”

Pro-mortalism is a support for death, and anti-natalism is a belief against birth. This philosophy is growing in popularity, reported Not the Bee. Earlier this month, The New Yorker highlighted anti-natalist philosopher David Benatar, who argues that it would be better if no more children were ever born.

“While good people go to great lengths to spare their children from suffering, few of them seem to notice that the one (and only) guaranteed way to prevent all the suffering of their children is not to bring those children into existence in the first place,” he wrote in his book, “Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence.”

In complete opposition to this nihilistic perspective, pro-lifers believe that every human being, regardless of their manner of conception, has intrinsic value and deserves the right to life.

“...they simply do not care about the harm they are perpetuating by being willing agents for a DNA molecule.”

Meanwhile he didn’t care about the harm he looked to perpetuate by blowing up a building and hoping ones would be blown up with him.

Thankfully no one died in that explosion but him.,,

,,,and no one will follow his insane rag of illogical beliefs. Wackadoo extinguished.

When I saw the age of the perp on the news yesterday(25), I immediately said it had to be an ANTIFA false flag operation.

Guy is dead.

as we say around here, he blowed up real good.

If you look at some of the crime scene pics that is his body they were covering with a white sheet.

Some youtubers got real pics of it and I’m sure you can find it online uncencored somewhere but I have not been able to find it.

"...I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here..."

Okay, that's some really 'out there' whacked out thinking. In the history of the planet, nobody has ever been polled for 'consent' to be brought into this world. Meanwhile, this yahoo took somebody out -- not himself, of course -- without asking for their approval to do so.

Normally, I'd ask for the death penalty without hesitation, but in this particular case I think forcing him to continue living -- in a max-security prison -- might be a more fitting punishment.

Pro-mortalism is a support for death, and anti-natalism is a belief against birth.

Sounds like the demonicRAT Party.

Sounds like this poor soul had demons in complete control of his mind. Satan doesn’t have a funny red costume and horns, he is much more subtle than that.

But. Was this bomber, this pro-death advocate, killed in his blast?

If he lived, but tried to use the broadcast to encourage others to murder, then he should be prosecuted for that too.

If he died, and so far I have seen no indication he was in the car, no one is thus far promoting his death.
