The suspect in a series of bombings in Austin, Texas, identified himself as a conservative and wrote about his opposition to gay marriage and abortion, according to The Austin American Statesmen.

The newspaper reports that Mark Anthony Conditt wrote about his views on a blog for a U.S. government class he took at Austin Community College.

“First, if a women does not want a baby, or is incapable of taking care of one, she should not participate in activities that were made for that reason. Second, if we are going to give women free abortions, why not give men free condoms, or the like? Is it not up to the couple to take these preventive measures?” Conditt reportedly wrote.

He also reportedly voiced his opposition to homosexuality, saying it was not natural.

“Just look at the male and female bodies. They are obviously designed to couple. The natural design is apparent. It is not natural to couple male with male and female with female. It would be like trying to fit two screws together and to nuts together and then say, 'See, it’s natural for them to go together,' " he wrote, according to the Statesmen.

And Conditt advocated for getting rid of the sex offender system on the blog.

“So you have a guy who committed a crime. Will putting him on a (sex offender) list make it better? wouldn’t this only make people shun him, keep him from getting a job, and making friends? Just for a crime that he may have committed over 15 years ago as a adolescent? On a side note, one fifth of all rapes are committed by a juvenile,” he wrote, the newspaper reported.

Various news outlets on Wednesday identified Conditt as the suspect in a series of bombings in Texas's capital.

At least four explosions killed two people and left several others injured around the city in recent weeks.

Officials have said only that the suspect, a 24-year-old male, was killed when he detonated a device in his car after police surrounded it early Wednesday near Round Rock, Texas.
