- Indiana/Illinois abortionist Ulrich Klopfer will lose his “Physician Designee” in Fort Wayne after failing to quickly report statutory rape and for admitting he encourages victims of statutory rape to go to other states. This means Klopfer may not be able to legally perform abortions in Fort Wayne in the new year:
The Allen County Patient Safety Ordinance requires that doctors who practice but don’t live in the county to have a relationship with a local doctor who can legally practice in Allen County. State law requires abortion doctors to have local admitting privileges or have entered into an agreement with a physician who has admitting privileges at a hospital in case of an emergency.Dr. Geoffrey Cly, OB/GYN, notified Dr. Ulrich Klopfer in a letter dated December 12 that he will no longer serve as the “back-up” physician for Klopfer effective December 31, 2013.
Big thanks to RH Reality Check for posting the article in which Klopfer admits he encourages victims of statutory rape to go out of state.
- New York Magazine has an article on “The Heroic Commutes of Abortion Providers.” It’s funny how some abortion advocates act like abortion isn’t a big money maker, yet how else would these abortionists/clinics be able to afford such long commutes?
- Abortion advocate Jessica Valenti has an interesting piece in which she chides abortion advocates for calling Michigan’s abortion insurance legislation “rape insurance.” She points out that focusing on the hard cases doesn’t help (and actually undermines) the pro-choice movement’s goal to win support for abortion in more typical situations:
I understand why many in the pro-choice movement focus on the most extreme examples when we talk to the media; they are truly harrowing and serious issues. And we need public support — but not at the expense of our feminist values.As Merritt Tierce, executive director of Texas Equal Access Fund, told me in an interview last month: “The lawsuits and the media coverage always focus on the most sympathetic cases, without acknowledging that while of course those cases absolutely deserve our sympathy, most women will not experience anything like what they see and hear in the media.”

This is an interesting array of articles — a window into the minds of ardent pro-abortion enthusiasts. They really don’t understand that American culture is not quite ready to stare Death straight in the face with a smile.
Consider the typical, barely-thinking abortion-minded American…. You know the type: Your co-worker or neighbor who thinks that middle-class college girls deserve to have abortions.
But this guy does not think that abortionists should shunt pre-teen girls out-of-state for an abortion to cover up the neglect and statutory rape. Even if the abortion is okay, hiding the perpetrators and exposing the young girls to further risk is not. RH REALITY CHECK doesn’t get this.
Our guy has a strong inkling that abortionists are psychopaths. He does not believe that the traveling guns are heroes: He’s just glad that they don’t live in his community. He’s glad that they only come to town once a week and promptly leave. He would not want to live next door to that guy. NEW YORK MAGAZINE doesn’t get this.
And cute little Jessica Valenti is the most frustrated of all. Our barely-thinking abortion-minded guy does not love women the way that pro-lifers do. He thinks that an unintended pregnancy is the result of irresponsible and slutty behaviors — He thinks that the stupid girl has gotten what she deserves, and she deserves to be ashamed about it. Public perception will never celebrate abortion the way that Jessica wants them to. I think that Jessica does see this, and so she hopes to change it (like our culture accepts divorce now, shameful as it used to be).
But after 40 years of legal abortion, public attitudes are turning increasingly against it. No one expects that Abortion Parties will become as typical as Baby Showers! We will never see the acceptance that Jessica longs for.
