FORMER INDIANA
DOCTOR, PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES ARE
DEMANDING JUSTICE.
TODAY, ALLEN COUNTY RIGHT TO
LIFE AND INDIANA RIGHT TO LIFE
HELD A
PRESS CONFERENCE IN FRONT OF DR.
ULRICH KLOPFER'S FORMER FORT
WAYNE CLINIC.
IT IS OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT...
WANE 15'S KAITOR KAY JOINS US
WITH MORE.
THE AREA ADVOCATES AND
POLITITICIANS CALLED DR.
KLOPFER A SICK PSYCHOPATH
WITH A SLOPPY MEDICAL PRACTICE.
WHEN HE DIED EARLIER THIS MONTH,
THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE
END OF HIS STORY.
BUT THEY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
"JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED WHEN THE
LIVES OF THESE LITTLE BABIES
WILL
NOT HAVE BEEN LOST IN VAIN."
MORE THAN 2,000 MEDICALLY
PRESERVED FETUSES WERE FOUND IN
DR.
ULRICH KLOPFER'S ILLINOIS
HOME AFTER HE DIED IN EARLY
SEPTEMBER.
KLOPFER WAS A PROLIFIC ABORTION
DOCTOR WHO DID OPERATIONS IN
SOUTH BEND AND GARY, INDIANA.
AND ALSO IN FORT WAYNE, WHERE
INDIANA RIGHT TO LIFE AND ALLEN
COUNTY RIGHT TO LIFE HELD
TODAY'S
PRESS CONFERENCE.
"THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
HORRIFIC INFORMATION THAT THE
ABORTIONIST WHO OPERATED IN
THE BUILDING BEHIND US ACTUALLY
TOOK THE BODIES OF THE
LITTLE BOYS AND GIRLS THAT DIED
IN HIS HANDS WITH HIM BACK TO
HIS HOME
IN ILLINOIS AND KEPT THEM THERE.
OVER THE YEARS, KLOPFER'S
CLINICS
WERE CLOSED AND HIS LICENSE
SUSPENDED FOR POOR PRACTICE.
SERENA DYKSON SAID SHE WENT TO
HIM FOR AN ABORTION WHEN
SHE WAS 13 YEARS OLD AND HAD A
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
SHE SAYS HEARING ABOUT THE
COLLECTED FETUSES HAS RE-
TRAUMATIZED HER.
"I IMMEDIATELY WENT NUMB.
THEN I
WENT FROM NUMB TO SOBBING AT THE
THOUGHT OF MY DAUGHTER'S BODY
ON HIS PROPERTY FROM ANGER." THE
AREA ADVOCATES AND
POLITITICIANS WANT AUTHORITIES
TO INVESTIGATE KLOPFERS
COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY,
EVERYONE THAT EVER WORKED WITH
HIM, AND
EVERY PLACE HE PRACTICED.
THEY ALSO WANT ALL THE FETUSES
IDENTIFIED AND RELEASED SO THEY
CAN HAVE PROPER BURIALS.
TODAY'S SPEAKERS DON'T KNOW WHY
KLOPFER WAS KEEPING THE FETUSES
BUT PUT
FORWARD TWO THEORIES.
MAYBE HE WAS KEEPING THEM AS
TROPHIES.
OR MAYBE HE WAS KEEPING THEM TO
SAVE MONEY BY AVOIDING THE COSTS
OF PROPERLY DISPOSING OF THEM.
KAITOR KAY, WANE 15 NEWS.
BOTH GOVERNOR ERIC HOLCOMB AND
REPRESENTATIVE JIM BANKS ARE
CALLING
FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO
KLOPFER'S BUSINESS PRACTICES.
AND INDIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL
CURTIS HILL SAYS HE AND
DEMOCRATIC
ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL KWAME
RAOUL HAVE AGREED TO WORK
TOGETHER
AS HILL'S OFFICE COORDINATES AN
INVESTIGATION.
A FORT WAYNE COUPLE IS PRODUCING
A DOCUMENTARY ON THE LIFE AND
CAREER
OF DR.
KLOPFER.
IT'S CALLED INWOOD DRIVE, NAMED
AFTER
THE STREET WHERE HE OPERATED HIS
FORT WAYNE CLINIC.
MARK AND AMBER ARCHER SAY THEIR
FILM WILL COVER KLOPFER'S EARLY
DAYS
IN GERMANY WHERE HE SURVIVED
BOMBINGS IN WORLD WAR TWO.
IT WILL ALSO FOCUS ON HOW HE
LOST HIS CLINICS AND ABORTION
LICENSE IN
INDIANA.
THE COUPLE ACTUALLY GOT TO SIT
DOWN AND INTERVIEW KLOPFER.
THEY SAY THEY WERE DONE WITH
THEIR
DOCUMENTARY UNTIL NEWS OF THE
TWO- THOUSAND FETUSES BROKE.
NOW, THEY'LL HAVE TO UPDATE
THEIR FILM.
((WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE EXTENT
OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED, WE
WERE SHOCKED BUT NOT SURPRISED.
IT WAS MORE OR LESS WHAT WE HAD
EXPECTED.
WE NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT
WAS GOING TO BE AS
EXTREME AS IT TURNED OUT TO
BE.))
INWOOD DRIVE IS EXPECTED TO BE
RELEASED EARLY NEXT YEAR.
