While abortion clinics have faced threats of violence for decades, fertility clinics have generally been insulated. But in recent years, in vitro fertilization has drawn increased scrutiny.
A bombing this weekend at a fertility clinic in California is raising fears that the threat of violence that has long loomed over abortion providers is now extending to other areas of reproductive health.
Authorities said four people were injured when a car bomb exploded outside the American Reproductive Centers clinic in Palm Springs Saturday, and the 25-year-old suspect was killed. The facility was badly damaged in the blast.
Law enforcement officials said the suspect’s writings expressed anti-natalist views, a belief that procreation is morally wrong. They characterized the blast as an act of terrorism and said it was believed to be an isolated incident.
That particular incident is hard to use as a specific ongoing threat for anybody though. Didn’t that guy target the place because he was mad he was born in the first place? Being pro abortion and anti IVF is a particularly rare position.
I read he was against forcing anyone to be born without their consent.
