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?”

        I mean sure… but how the fuck does one fix when the population of a country is now living in two separate realities? I make my comment because our political divide is still the same ones that lead to the original Civil War and the wounds have been allowed to fester for the past century and a half. So now we’re a country where both sides are sure the other side is morally evil… and honestly I’m at the point where I can’t even disagree with that when I understand that’s a problem so I’m definitely at… well… we’re fucked?

        If you got a better idea… good luck.
