  • Prolific abortionist Ulrich Klopfer hoarded thousands of fetal remains.
  • The abortionist’s family discovered a collection of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains in his Illinois home in September 2019.
  • The remains will be buried Wednesday in South Bend, Indiana.

The thousands of fetal remains stored by the prolific abortionist Ulrich Klopfer will be buried Wednesday.

Late abortion Dr. Klopfer stored 2,411 aborted fetal remains on his property before he died in September 2019. The remains will be laid to rest in a burial ceremony that will take place Wednesday in South Bend, Indiana, according to the Tegna affiliate WTHR.

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, a Republican, will offer remarks on behalf of the state of Indiana, Right to Life Michiana (RTLM) announced in a press release. RTLM will hold a short prayer service following both Hill’s remarks and a press conference. RTLM, Right to Life Northeast Indiana and Lake County Right to Life will hold another memorial service on Feb. 23 for those who are unable to attend the first service.

“While we are grateful to the Attorney General and Palmer Funeral Homes for giving these children a dignified burial, we are devastated that we have to bury them,” RTLM Outreach Manager Melanie Garcia said in a statement Monday. “If it wasn’t for the evil of abortion, these children would be in their late teens.”

“They’d be starting their first years of college. Instead, we’re burying their bodies,” Garcia continued.

RTLM Executive Director Jackie Appleman added: “We are burying 2,411 human remains; we are not burying 2,411 ‘missed periods,’ ‘pregnancy tissue,’ or ‘uterine contents.'”

National pro-life leaders also weighed in on news of the burial service.

“Finally, 2,411 unborn babies killed by abortionist Ulrich Klopfer in Indiana will be given the respect in death that they never received in life,” Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser tweeted Monday. “The Susan B. Anthony List team and I commit to honoring their short lives by electing legislators & passing #prolife laws.”

The funeral will take place after the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing Tuesday on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, an act which seeks to protect babies born alive through botched abortions.

We mourn the thousands of lives lost at the hands of now-deceased abortionist Ulrich Klopfer, & grieve how these unborn boys & girls were treated as medical experiments & waste,” March for Life President Jeanne Mancini tweeted Monday. “These little victims deserved life, now at least they will receive a respectful burial.”

The 79-year-old abortion doctor’s family discovered a collection of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains in his Illinois home after his death, according to the Indiana attorney general’s Preliminary Report on the Investigation of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer released in December.

Authorities from the Will County, Illinois, Sheriff’s Office later discovered more than 100 additional fetal remains in October, stashed away in the trunk of Klopfer’s car.

Klopfer ran three different Indiana abortion clinics during his lifetime and performed over 30,000 abortions since he began operating in 1974. Authorities examined each of these clinics and their findings are also detailed in the attorney general’s report, which records Klopfer’s misconduct as an abortion doctor, the resultant suspension of his medical license and the subsequent finding of over 2,000 fetal remains in his home.

2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg served as mayor of South Bend from 2012 to 2020. Klopfer’s abortion clinic in the city, the Women’s Pavilion, closed down in 2016 due to violations of government codes in relation to abortion reporting, record maintenance and personnel records, according to state abortion clinic inspection reports, the South Bend Tribune reported.

WATCH:

Buttigieg did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation on the burial.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
