The remains of more than 2,000 foetuses have been found at the Illinois home of a former abortion doctor.<\/p>\n
The family of Dr Ulrich Klopfer discovered the remains while sorting through the doctor’s property after his death on 3 September.<\/p>\n
Dr Klopfer had a clinic in South Bend, Indiana, which closed down when his licence was revoked in 2016.<\/p>\n
He was accused of failing to report abortions performed on a 13-year-old girl to authorities.<\/p>\n
He also failed to ensure staff were present during procedures, AP reported.<\/p>\n
The doctor, whose records show he was an osteopathic physician, said he had never lost a patient in 43 years of carrying out abortions.<\/p>\n
“Women get pregnant, men don’t,” Dr. Klopfer said during the hearing,\u00a0according to the New York Times.<\/a>\u00a0“We need to respect women making a decision that they think is best in their life. I’m not here to dictate to anybody. I’m not here to judge anybody.”<\/p>\n Authorities uncovered the remains of 2,246 foetuses in total.<\/p>\n The coroner’s office has taken possession of the remains and launched an investigation.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
