More than 2,000 Medically Preserved Fetal Found at the Home of Former Abortion Doctor

SOUTH BEND, IN- Indiana authorities say More than 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains have been found at the Illinois home of a former Indiana abortion clinic doctor who died on Sept. 3rd.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois says the family of doctor Ulrich Klopfer reported finding the remains while they were sorting through his personal belongings.

The sheriff’s office said authorities found 2,246 preserved fetal remains but there’s no evidence medical procedures were performed at the home.

The family’s attorney requested that the coroner’s office provide proper removal of over 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains.

Klopfer’s license was suspended by Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board in November 2016 after the panel found a number of violations, including a failure to ensure that qualified staff was present when patients received or recovered from medications given before and during abortion procedures.

Klopfer was no longer practicing by that time, but he told the panel he had never lost a patient in 43 years of doing abortions and that he hoped to eventually re-open his clinics.

Authorities add that the family is cooperating fully.

The coroner’s office took possession of the remains. An investigation is underway.
