Leftist Intersectionality at its radical finest.
The loony toon who killed himself and injured four others while bombing a California IVF clinic apparently has a fascinating social media footprint. His writings seem to indicate that he - the late Guy Edward Bartkus - was opposed to human life, irritated that he was brought into this world without his consent, and identified the IVF clinic as the antithesis of everything he stood for. It’s the epitome of pro-life. And he’s pro-death.
Formally, he identified as a pro-mortality, vegan anti-natalist. This is the intersection of veganism, death with dignity, and anti-birthism. It’s the logical endpoint of the anthropomorphic climate change and degrowth movement. I mean, if humans are the problem…..
This isn’t the kind of thing you’d learn in Catholic school. They are resoundingly pro-life. I can only imagine a long string of Leftist teachers and other ‘influencers’ each adding their piece to this philosophical edifice. I’m reminded of a series of sci-fi novels by David Brin - the Uplift series. One of the alien races encountered is actively trying to devolve into non-sentience. They call it something like Walking the Path to Redemption. This guy would fit right in. That’s Pro-Mortal Vegan Anti-Natalism.
Oh… and because the perp is a Leftist loony, expect the story to vanish very quickly.

Well, at least he finally successfully dealt with himself.

When this story immediately vanished, I presumed he must've been a Democrat.
For some reason, I'm disappointed that I was right.

I have to disagree with your characterization of the IVF clinic as "the epitome of pro-life." The IVF process kills more human life than abortion does.
