"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. "
So IVF babies are here without consent. Are there any babies that consent? I do not remember being asked.
Be glad he did not know about the buildings where this nonconsensual birthing is done at scale. We call them obstetric wards.
UPDATE: 5/18/25 Los Angeles Times:
"In the manifesto, the author denounced those who bring human life into the world and declared an end goal of “sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.”
Is that mental illness or an attempt to get tenure?
Not that it is relevant for this incident, but my understanding is that the Roman Catholic Church and many in the Pro-Life movement are anti-IVF because of the number of viable embryos that are discarded in the process.
ReplyDeleteThe culture of life that goes along with such a philosophy makes deadly voilence or suicide to stop it (or bring attention to it) quite unlikely, however.
