Police say explosion outside American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic was ‘an intentional act of violence’

At least one person is dead after a car exploded near a reproductive facility in Palm Springs, California, according to local authorities.

Palm Springs Police spokesperson Mike Villegas told reporters the car explosion was “an intentional act of violence” but the investigation is ongoing.

Officials did not immediately say whether or not the person who died was associated with the car, but a facility official said all of the building’s staff were safe and physically unharmed.

At least also five people were injured in the explosion, ABC7 reported, citing law enforcement sources.

    I get it, but at the same time, some very competent people that could be amazing parents need IVF and it’s not right to take that away from them or terrorize them for that choice.

    Some might shame them for not adopting, but I think that’s a stupid mentality. Not everyone has the same needs to be filled with parenthood. Some want legacy, some want someone to love unconditionally, some want to give back to the community, some want a part of themselves and their partner to be left in this world, etc.

    I’ve even heard some say IVF shouldn’t be covered by Universal Healthcare where I live, because “God didn’t want them to have kids anyway”, but if we went with that mentality, nothing would be covered by Universal Healthcare, because “God didn’t want them to live or be cured anyway”.

    Too many people have a serious lack of empathy for others.
