Statement from Today’s Fort Wayne Press Conference

“On Friday, September 13, I was horrified to learn of reports that police had recovered 2,246 fetal remains from the property of Dr. Ulric Klopfer. This gruesome news underscores that abortion is not an issue in theory, it is an issue of life and death for unborn baby girls and boys. To think of these children being preserved, for whatever purposes, is simply sickening.This discovery opens a flood of questions that must be answered.

Why were these babies preserved?

When and where did these babies die?

Did the mothers of these babies know their remains were going to be preserved?

Are there other properties owned by Dr, Klopfer where fetal remains may still be found?

Were these babies being preserved in order to be sold to universities or research facilities?

Are there staff members of Dr. Klopfer’s operations complicit in the preserving and transportation of these remains?

Are there other Indiana abortion doctors doing the exact same thing, even today as we speak?

How do we make sure this never happens again in Indiana?

These are just a few of the questions we are raising, and each of them deserves an answer.

In the days ahead, Indiana Right to Life will call upon state and federal officials to launch detailed investigations into the discovery of 2,246 fetal remains on the property of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, and to take the actions needed as a result of the investigations.

We cannot just shake our heads at the horror of this discovery, and then walk away. The time for investigation is now.”
