US Edition25-year-old suspect in fertility clinic bombing left behind ‘anti-pro-life’ writings, officials say
- A 25-year-old man named Guy Edward Bartkus detonated a car bomb on a Saturday outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, damaging the building and dying in the explosion.
- Authorities have categorized the explosion as a terrorist incident connected to Bartkus's anti-natalist writings opposing procreation, which investigators continue to examine to assess his mental state.
- The bombing brought renewed attention to IVF, a key issue in the 2024 U.S. Presidential campaign, during which Trump advocated for comprehensive IVF coverage despite divisions within his party and efforts by some states to limit access.
- White House spokesperson Kush Desai confirmed that the Domestic Policy Council completed a report recommending expanded IVF access and sent it to the president days after the explosion, but gave no release details.
- The incident illustrates rising political and social conflicts over reproductive care, as IVF access faces challenges in some Republican-led states amid ongoing abortion and embryo personhood debates.
