The suspect who set off a bomb outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California on Saturday left a rambling “anti-life” manifesto in which he ranted about never giving “consent to being born.”
New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz reported that the suspected bomber has been identified as Guy Edward Bartkus, 25 of Twentynine Palms, California. Fox News’ Matt Finn further reported that law enforcement officials loosely described the manifesto as “anti-life” and nihilistic.
Officials have not confirmed the suspects identity as of 7 a.m. local time Sunday, though Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills believe the suspected bomber was the lone fatality in the blast. An additional five people were injured after the bomb is believed to have gone off in a parked car outside the building.
Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that she had been made aware of the explosion and confirmed that federal investigators were on the ground. “I have been briefed on the explosion at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California that took place today. Federal agents are on the ground now responding alongside local law enforcement,” she wrote.
“We are working to learn more, but let me be clear: the Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America. Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable.”
The FBI has officially classified the incident as a deliberate act of terrorism targeting the American Reproductive Centers of Palm Springs.
The Post Millennial reporter Andy Ngo, whose career has largely focused on documenting violent extremist groups, reported that Bartkus left a website titled “F**k you pro-lifers” that describes himself as a “promortalist.” Independent reporter Erin Cruz confirmed that the website was registered on February 24, 2025.
Included was a rambling, 30-minute audio message in which Bartkus repeatedly described himself as a “promortalist” and describes parents as “the real killers.”
“No, understand your death is already a guarantee, and you can thank your parents for that one. All a promortalist is saying is let’s make it happen sooner rather than later (and preferably peaceful rather than some disease or accident), to prevent your future suffering, and, more importantly, the suffering your existence will cause to all the other sentient beings,” the website reportedly belonging to Bartkus reads under the header, “PRO MORTALIST?! So you’re just pro psycho killers?!”
The manifesto references “Negative Utilitarianism, Efilism, Abolitionist Veganism,” as the ideologies that led to the attack, “basically, philosophies that have realized religion is retarded, but that there is objective value in the universe, and it lies in the harm being experienced by sentient beings,” the website reads.
It also contains praise of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza and Gary ‘Inmendham’ Moshe, the founder of “Efilism” who has in the past stated he would carry out a mass shooting if he could “get away with murder.”
