Nearly 500 Complaints Filed Against a Fort Wayne Abortion Doctor

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Representatives from Indiana Right to Life and Allen County Right to Life gathered Monday afternoon at the Grand Wayne Center to announce nearly 500 complaints being filed against Fort Wayne abortion doctor, Ulrich Klopfer.

Each of the 487 addressed more than 3,000 errors and omissions uncovered on publicly-available terminated pregnancy reports spanning abortions performed July 2011 through June 2013. Indiana law requires abortion doctors to file terminated pregnancy reports with the Indiana State Department of Health for each abortion performed. Indiana law also specifies that failure to complete and submit the report on time carries a Class B misdemeanor charge.  

The complaints are being filed with the Indiana Attorney General's office.

“The quantity and type of errors and omissions speaks volumes about Dr. Klopfer's abortion business,”
stated Cathie Humbarger, Allen County Right to Life Executive Director. “Every termination of pregnancy report in 2012 and 2013 listed the address where Dr. Klopher's old abortion business was, a site where he hasn't practiced in seven years. Every report during those years also stated that the baby was age 88 weeks after fertilization. An elephant could develop in 88 weeks. Dr. Klopfer's errors and omissions are simply careless. These errors and omissions raise serious concerns over how Dr. Klopfer runs his abortion practice.

Complainants are requesting the immediate suspension of Klopfer's medical license pending a full investigation.
