Over 2,200 medically preserved fetal remains were found Thursday on the property of a deceased doctor in unincorporated Will County.
About 3:30 p.m., the Will County Coroner’s Office received a call from an attorney representing the family of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer who died Sept. 3, stating that while going through the doctor’s personal property they found what appeared to be fetal remains, the Will County sheriff’s office said.
Officials responded to an address in unincorporated Will County and were directed to an area of the property where they found 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains, the sheriff’s office said. The remains were taken by the coroner’s office.
There is no evidence that any medical procedures were conducted at the property, police said. The doctor’s family is fully cooperating as Will County officials investigate.
According to the South Bend Tribune, the doctor was an abortion provider and had his license briefly suspended three years ago for his abortion tactics.

The Lie of Institutional Neutrality: What Pride Month Reveals About Who Controls the Cathedral
Alexis de Tocqueville, writing of democratic despotism in Democracy in America, described a system that would not tyrannize through violence but through the steady degradation of citizenship — a society in which an “immense and tutelary power” would keep citizens “in perpetual childhood,” covering the surface of society “with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform.” He envisioned an authority that would not break wills so much as soften them, not forbid but prevent, not punish but enfeeble.
