JOLIET - Prayers concerning the remains of 2,246 babies discovered at the Crete home of abortionist Ulrich "George" Klopfer will be offered outside the office of Will County's coroner Thursday at noon, Pro-Life Action League's executive director Eric Scheidler announced Wednesday.
"Those fetal remains are the bodies of 2,246 tiny baby boys and girls, our brothers and sisters ... are in the custody of the Will County Coroner in Joliet," Scheidler said in an email to the group's supporters. "I hope you’ll join me too, offering prayers of mourning for these children and for the Will County authorities to determine what happened to them and provide them a proper burial."
Scheidler said he would be joined for the prayer vigil by his father, Joe Scheidler, Alexandra Kurator of the Diocese of Joliet, Susan Walker of the Rest in His Arms group, and others.
Scheidler participated in a press conference in South Bend Indiana Tuesday with a member of the Indiana State Legislature, a Baptist minister, a leader in a local prolife group and a woman that experienced an abortion at the hands of George Klopfer when she was 13 years old.
Standing outside the now-closed Women's Pavilion abortion clinic in South Bend, Scheidler shared concerns about other babies' bodies that may be yet to be discovered of which Klopfer may have not properly disposed.
"How many other corpses may be inside this building right now? Or inside the other abortion facilities elsewhere in Indiana, or who knows where else? I'm here to speak on behalf of those children who's lives have been snuffed out by abortion."
The Will County Coroner's office is located at 158 North Scott Road in Joliet, Illinois.
