Anti natalist... I doubt they'd have to do something so overt to reduce humanities birth rate. This has false flag written all over it. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the religious right that's anti fertility clinic?
It's so fresh, we're operating on limited information, and idk if we can really say if it's false flag or not. Which, funnily enough, is the desired result of a false flag. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do think it's rather odd that the man killed himself, blew himself up in the car. A la rented Tesla Cybertruck terrorist, granted he wasn't that fucking dumb, but it's in the same vein & same method. And outcome.
I'm not one to hand out advice for conducting domestic terrorism, but let's just say I'd do it differently.
The religious right is very much split on IVF, especially since Trump approved it. The true religious right is anti-IVF because it's not natural, you do "sinful" /unnatural things in the process, homosexuals or singles sometimes create children, mistakes happen mixing wrong egg/sperm creating bastard children, and finally the destruction of fertilized human embryos. They really don't like that, they view it as abortion on steroids. Then the more...utilitarian?...religious right doesn't focus too much on the mistakes, the masturbation, the destruction of fertilized human embryos. They focus on helping infertile couples & the children created from that process. And again, Trump cautiously giving IVF blessing & in the future, maybe even funding has turned religious right's opinion on IVF. Positively.
No they're anti-abortion and anti-birth management, not anti-fertility. Religious nuts are hypocrites and what part of the Bible talks about IVF? Prolly none.
It might genuinely just be a bitter angry person. I don't even like to call it an ideology, they just complain they had no choice in whether they were brought to this world, ans and since the world sucks, they pretend like if somehow they could've chosen, they would've chosen not to even live, which makes no sense, as then they'd never have been a person with the capacity to think that. It's paradoxical, is my point.
I wouldn't be surprised that just general whackos like that do exist, but yeah, you're right, it wouldn't be out of line to false flag it to create even further infighting in the states.
To be honest it's probably not even much of a challenge for some Russian disinfo agents to convince someone to firebomb shit like that. When people are denied healthcare and housing and the streets are flooded with opioids and guns, it doesn't take much to find a person easy to manipulate.
So it might be both "real" and also politically puppeteered. That would make the most sense, honestly, but we need to remember that these sort of ultraviolent psychopaths aren't really... thinking straight.
We'd like to make it make sense, but acts of violence rarely do.
No, they're anti-IVF too. It stems from the fact that many embryos are fertilized but only a few are implanted. The rest are discarded. To the christofacists, this means they're 'killing children'.
Oh right yeah if you combine anti-abortion views like that with anti-science, yeah, I can definitely your point, yeah.
I'm not arguing your points. It just seems like the only group cutting funding and research for IVF is the conservative wing. Also, many religions nut jobs see women who need IVF as imperfect vessels, and men that need IVF as not men.
Well there's religious nuts who oppose damn near everything, so I'm not surprised.
I'm just pointing out that they're not traditionally against fertility treatments, although as some are anti-science (which is traditional for religious people), they are also coincidentally anti-IVF etc.
But like, their main point isn't being against increasing fertility, it's being against "unnatural science" or smth.
