The FBI identified a person of interest in an explosion that killed one and injured four near the American Reproductive Centers in Palm Springs.
One person was killed in a car explosion that damaged a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, and police are calling it an “intentional act of violence.
Bartkus is believed to be the person who detonated a bomb at the Palm Springs American Reproductive Center, which offers services like IVF, because he was aligned with the pro-mortalist and anti-natalist movements—the idea that humans should not continue to procreate.
A White House official says the Trump administration is reviewing a list of recommendations to expand access to in vitro fertilization.
Bartkus has been named as a suspect in the bombing outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic, two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told KCAL News. He also allegedly stated in writings and recordings that he was a “pro-mortalist” — or against bringing people into the world against their will, the sources added.
