The FBI believes the suspect in the Palm Springs explosion left behind "anti-pro-life" writings before carrying out the attack, officials said.
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 motive for the bombing at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs has been revealed after a 25-year-old man named Guy Edward Bartkus was linked to the blast.
Bartkus was identified as the key suspect by the FBI on Sunday, after his body was discovered near a burned-out vehicle outside the clinic. He had reportedly attempted to livestream the explosion, with a camera found set up on a tripod nearby, although no footage was uploaded online.
