On May 17, 2025, a suicide bomber named Edward Bartkus, 25, blew up an In vitro Fertilization Clinic (IVF Clinic) as a protest against what he called the clinic’s “pro-life ideology.” Bartkus leaves behind a legacy of writing promoting anti-natalism, an ideology that claims life cannot consent to come into being so bringing in new life is morally evil. Fortunately, the only person he killed was himself.
The ideology is the fruit of abortion culture itself, which debases human life by allowing, even forcing, human beings to express ideas about other human beings that would normally seem evil to all but a few of the most psychotic among us. One assumption is that human beings are not humans until they are “useful” or “viable.” Another assumption is the unborn can be terminated if they are found to have a “birth defect” like Down Syndrome.

Excerpt:
A car bomb exploded in the parking lot behind the American Reproductive Centers facility in Palm Springs, California, last week. One person was killed and four people were injured. The deceased, found next to the car, has been identified as Guy Edward Bartkus, the alleged perpetrator. The FBI quickly deemed it an “intentional act of terrorism.”
According to the clinic, the building itself sustained significant damage, but “all embryos and reproductive material remain fully secured and undamaged.” The fact that no one but the perpetrator lost their life is remarkable. The act of violence is disturbing, and the apparent motivations behind it are truly chilling.
The suspect is known to have held nihilistic, antinatalist, and pro-mortalist views. Bartkus detailed his reasons for the attack: “I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic. Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”
Bartkus was apparently a suicidal maniac, bent on causing as much destruction as possible while killing others along the way. The main reason for his rage? Merely existing in the first place.
