What kind of man ignores disposal requirements and pockets the babies he aborts as trophies? This kind of behavior reminds us of serial killers such as Ted Bundy and fellow abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
I have been following Klopfer’s career for a long time ‐ first as a pro-life concerned citizen, then as the executive director of Allen County Right to Life in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Under different circumstances, one might describe him as my archenemy, but I couldn’t see him that way. What I saw in Klopfer was a very broken man who, like all of us, was in need of God’s mercy.
ULRICH GEORGE KLOPFER’S HISTORY
Klopfer’s story starts in Dresden, Germany, where he claims to have witnessed massive causalities following Allied bombing. He said he and his family escaped from East Germany when he was a child and spent time in a refugee camp. They immigrated to the United States, and after finishing college, he entered medical school, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Filmmakers Mark and Amber Archer, who are working on a documentary about Klopfer’s Fort Wayne business location, believe his story checks out.
Almost immediately after medical school, Klopfer began his career as an abortionist. His career started in Illinois and ended in Indiana, where he eventually owned abortion businesses in Gary, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Right to Life estimates he did well more than 50,000 abortions in more than four decades.
We considered Klopfer a circuit-riding abortionist. He resided in Illinois, yet visited his Indiana abortion businesses once a week. His day in Fort Wayne, in the facility immediately next door to our office, was Thursday. He would arrive at the facility late at night on Wednesday and spend the night there before seeing pregnant women in the morning.
