The Ultimate ‘Pro-Choice’ Logic? Weird New Terrorist Threat Emerges

Posted on | May 18, 2025 | Comments Off on The Ultimate ‘Pro-Choice’ Logic? Weird New Terrorist Threat Emerges

When I first heard the news that a bomb blast had wrecked a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, the question of motive immediately intrigued me. This particular clinic was known for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, and the thought occurred to me that perhaps the bomber was a Catholic extremist (because the Catholic Church opposes all such artificial interventions in the reproductive process).

By late yesterday, the FBI was calling it an act of “terrorism” and unnamed sources were telling the media that it was apparently a suicide car bomb, with the perpetrator dying in the blast. Mysterious as this was — suicide bombers are a phenomenon we usually associate with radical Islam — my speculation about the bomber’s motive never came close to the truth, which is weird beyond my imagination:

A 25-year-old self-described “pro-mortalist” has been identified as the attacker who detonated a car bomb outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs Saturday — killing himself and injuring four other people, according to sources.
Guy Edward Bartkus, of Twentynine Palms, is believed to have detonated an explosive device in his car outside the American Reproductive Centers, which performs IVF treatments, egg collections and other procedures, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Bartkus allegedly described his fanatical pro-death beliefs in written and recorded manifestos as being against bringing people into the world without their consent to spare them from future suffering, KCAL news reported. . . .
The FBI had confirmed the suspect was the sole fatality of the bombing.

A couple more facts: Bartkus was apparently a follower of a YouTuber who calls himself Efil Blaise, who posted a total of 45 videos about his “pro-mortalism” philosophy during 2022 and has since disappeared.

The second relevant fact: On his web site, Bartkus said his “best friend” named Sophie had recently died, and that she and he “had agreed that if one of us died, the other would probably soon follow.” This was apparently a reference to “Sophie Tinney, 27, who died on April 20 of multiple gunshot wounds to the head in a home in Fox Island, Washington. Tinney’s boyfriend, Lars Eugene Nelson, 29, was later charged with second-degree murder in connection to her death.” Tinney evidently had asked her boyfriend to kill her — assisted suicide.

What’s going on here? What we are witnessing is, I would argue, a consequence of the secularization of culture. The self-described advocates of Science and Reason have succeeded so well in their war against God that many young people now see no meaning or purpose to life. Without any sense of moral law — and no sense of duty or obligation toward the divine author of the law — some turn to hedonism, while others embrace a Nietzschean nihilism. And it seems that many of them take seriously the preaching of “choice” as the ultimate ideal, as well as the anti-human gospel of environmentalism, where human existence is supposedly destroying the planet. The lunatic Bartkus left a manifesto:

The manifesto states that existence causes suffering and argues for a “peaceful” death to prevent future harm, like a “disease or accident.” One section of the site expresses an extreme anti-natalist worldview, stating, “The end goal is for the truth (Efilism) to win, and once it does, we can finally begin the process of sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.”
“Life can only continue as long as people hold the delusional belief that it is not a zero sum game causing senseless torture, and messes it can never, or only partially, clean up. I think we need a war against pro-lifers,” it continued.
The website also addresses religious criticism by dismissing the belief in God. “I just wanted to say, your god definitely doesn’t exist, but if he did, I’d choose satan over your evil god. Did you ever think that maybe the bible is just slander against satan, and that satan just realized what a f***ing creep your god is?”
