This information is being reported at a couple of international sites, but (if accurate) it has apparently been blacked out in the U.S.

The bomber at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, has been identified as a 25-year-old man who left an online manifesto in which he described himself as a pro-mortalist, saying people didn’t give consent to exist.

The suspect is Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old man from Twentynine Palms, a small city about 35 miles northeast of Palm Springs. He left a 30-minute audio recording in which he explained his motive for the attack.

“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said at the beginning of the recording. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”

Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: “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?”

    The true context here is that anytime the subject of having kids comes up, those who don’t have them are demonized. This context of this article is just being used an excuse to shield that demonization from any criticism, so fuck that royally.

    so you may want to hedge your bets with something reversible like an IUD instead of a hysterectomy

    is the opposite of:

    that’s all your business

    It’s 100% none of anyone’s business if we might change our minds. Most won’t, and it’s even questionable for our parents to say that shit, let alone internet randos.
