In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark.
“I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form of rape,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely…”
Yes, this is confusing. It doesn’t appear to align with other values he expresses. Maybe he needed to see his death as heroic and was willing to twist things to be able to see it that way. Maybe he didn’t believe he was putting others at risk; I haven’t managed to research the details of the event yet.
Most Saturdays, Abdallah and his staff are flitting between patient rooms and laboratories, sterilizing equipment, checking on growing embryos and walking hopeful parents through the arduous process of in vitro fertilization.
But through a series of inexplicable events, the clinic was completely empty on Saturday when the car exploded outside.
Abdallah had spontaneously decided to visit family. Two other weekend employees had been called away. And the clinic, just days before, had rescheduled a procedure that would have required 12 employees to be in the office at the time of the explosion.
It’s always monstrous when people turn to violence for their imagined greater good. It’s so easy to misunderstand one’s own motivations. This is so undermining to his own supposed goals.
I notice that the clinic advertises that it is closed Saturday. One could wonder if he thought there were nothing but embryos inside. But you can’t create a detonation that tears apart an entire building and damages others, and not be aware that people might die.
