Dr. Ulrich Klopfer worked at a clinic that did abortions in South Bend, Indiana until his license was suspended in 2015, and he earlier this month. I have a feeling that this is going to be Dr. Gosnell all over again, and that whatever he did to get his license yanked is too horrible to comprehend.
I thought Roe v. Wade was passed in large part to prevent things like this.
Read at your own risk.
The remains of over 2,000 fetuses were found among his belongings.
Really, “horrific discovery” and “abortion” in the title really gives away the spoilers bit.
…and he DIED earlier this month…
So…were they in jars, or Tupperware, or what?
Yeah, well, whaddaya gonna do.
I wonder if, among his effects, they’ll find a pending application for a zoning variance allowing him to operate a medical waste incinerator on the property.
Worst version of Pokémon ever.
I don’t necessarily need a like button, but I’d love to have a “LOL” button, so as not to interrupt the thread with a post.
But, until then, I simply want to acknowledge that I found your post hilarious.
Horrific? Really?
OK, sure, medical waste should be handled appropriately. But horrific? yawn
I may not have studied RvW as closely as I might, but I don’t recall anything from about the proper disposal of the fetus being even a small part of it. There is no claim that he abused or exploited the women, so who cares if he stored away the remains rather than destroying them?
Also, Roe v. Wade wasn’t ‘passed’.
CMC fnord!
Don’t quite get the outrage here, I must say. At least, not about the presence of fetuses.
Here’s a more detailed story than the CNN version posted by the OP.
The remains were medically preserved, and while the doctor had lost his license, none of the stories I’ve read indicate any evidence that the abortions were performed after he lost it.
If there’s anything to be outraged about here, it seems to be ssome of the wayss that he practiced. Here’s a story from 2016 on the hearing at which his license was suspended. He certainly seems to have been rather unprofessional in some of his medical practices, although he never lost a patient, and it’s worth noting that the investigation into his practice was started at the behest of two right-to-life organizations.
The local reaction seems to be “dead babies in his house.” That’s the screaming outrage part of it, anyway.
Or perhaps a restaurant.
Medically preserved human remains are horrific? I take it you’ve never been to a medical museum, a medical school or even a high school biology classroom?
But I thought all the dead aborted babies were used to make vaccines!!! Or they were sold for PARTS!!!one!!
(Sarcasm, obviously, but I’ve had religious folks tell me both of the above are a vital part of the “abortion industry.” And yes, I know that “baby” is a medically incorrect term for what was found.)
Granted, I don’t know the whole story myself, but no, they are not. One of my interests is medical history, and the Mutter Museum is on my bucket list.
Many years ago, I worked with a woman (who has since died herself) who had a miscarriage, and the baby was so perfectly formed that the doctors wanted their permission to put him (the pregnancy was far enough along that they could tell) on display at a medical school. Of course they gave permission.
It’s the whole context of the thing.
The Wistar-38 cell line, from which the MMR vaccine is made, came from a fetus that was legally aborted in Sweden in the early 1960s. Here’s the TL : DR version.
And here’s a link to the book itself. The doctor who performed the abortion, something she rarely did except in extreme circumstances like the one the woman who was identified only as Mrs. X was in, was still living as of the book’s writing, as was Mrs. X.
Medical ethics were different back then, and what was done, was done. Mrs. X did say that she was grateful that the tragedy she experienced led to something positive. Some people believe(d) that the abortion was performed to obtain fetal cells, and nothing could have been further from the truth.
Excellent links!
The true story behind the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccine manufacturing is miles away from the stories of “baby parts” pushed by certain anti-vaxxers and anti-choicers. (It’s my understanding, however, that the Catholic Church accepts the use of these vaccines, while still acknowledging their origins.)
So when they load them on a truck to take them away, can they use a pitchfork?
