The Anti-Natalist's Revenge
Briefly

A bombing at a Palm Springs fertility clinic revealed a radical ideology held by the perpetrator, Guy Edward Bartkus, identified as pro-mortalist. Contrary to initial assumptions linking the attack to anti-abortion sentiments, Bartkus's manifesto argued for preventing new life due to the inevitability of suffering. His position presents a disturbing challenge to pro-life views, as it not only opposes in vitro fertilization for producing life, but actively promotes a belief that negates the value of existence itself. The attack and its underlying philosophy necessitate a strong societal rebuttal supporting the good of life.
Bartkus's bombing was not an anti-IVF act in the traditional sense, but rather an effort to prevent new life itself, as he espoused a pro-mortalist ideology.
"Understand your death is already a guarantee, and you can thank your parents for that one," Bartkus articulated his philosophy, challenging the very premise of existence.
The manifesto is a chilling reminder of the depths of human despair; it underscores the necessity of addressing radical ideologies that negate the value of life.
"Life is good and worth defending," the author argues, emphasizing the importance of countering Bartkus's disturbing belief that life should not be created.
