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?”

    This seems like mental illness with some terrorism on top. I’m willing to bet that a robust mental health care system could have prevented it.

      Yeah, but who can afford one of those?

      Bombs to blow up brown kids won’t just buy themselves you know.

      But hear me out, what if the terrorist just went to church, and talked to the priest, for free?

      (Yes, right-wing politicians really think like that)
