He left a 30-minute audio recording in which he explained his motive for the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I&#8217;ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,&#8221; he said at the beginning of the recording. &#8220;Basically, it just comes down to I&#8217;m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: &#8220;I&#8217;m very against [IVF], it&#8217;s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they&#8217;ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bartkus also set up a tripod with a camera in an effort to film his attack, but the file failed to upload to his website, according to law enforcement sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a FAQ section of his website, he further explains that his best friend Sophie shared similar views and recently died after convincing her boyfriend to shoot her as she slept. &#8220;IIRC we had agreed that if one of us died, the other would probably soon follow,&#8221; Bartkus wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His description seemed to match the death of 27-year-old Sophie Tinney in Fox Island, Washington on April 22. Police arrested her boyfriend, 29-year-old Lars Eugene Nelson, and believe Tinney convinced Nelson to shoot her in the head as she slept. Nelson was charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bartkus is believed to be the only person who was killed in Saturday&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/2025\/05\/bomb-explosion-fertility-clinic-in-palm-springs-california\/\">bombing<\/a> at American Reproductive Centers, though officials have yet to formally identify his remains. Four other people were injured and taken to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Make no mistake, this is an intentional act of terrorism,&#8221; an FBI spokesman said at a briefing. The clinic was closed at the time of the attack and all of the stored embryos are believed to be safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#8217;t give consent to exist.
