This past Saturday, I attended a memorial at the Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. The cemetery is the burial place of 2033 aborted children. Special guests at the memorial included Nancy Kreuzer of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, Father Herman Kincaid of the Orthodox Church in America, and Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League. Music was provided by an ensemble from the Magnificat Choir at St. John Cantius Parish in Chicago. About 200 people attended the service, including many families with small children.
Eric Scheidler led the service with breaking news of the remains of 2246 aborted babies found in a home last Thursday in Crete, Illinois, a suburb south of Chicago. The home belong to Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who performed abortions for the past 40 years in Indiana. Klopfer died on September 3, 2019. The house was being cleaned out when the remains were found.
There are many questions which have yet to be addressed or answered. Was there some selling of body parts of babies? Were these babies being kept as “trophies” as we see in such disturbing movies as Silence of the Lambs? Were abortions being performed illegally at this doctors' home? Should there be a federal law that aborted children be buried or cremated with same respect as other people and not treated as medical waste? Are the Indiana abortion clinics being investigated today for their practices and proper removal of human remains? What will happen to 2246 human remains?
Eric Scheidler indicated he would like to have a proper burial of those aborted children at a place like Queen of Heaven Cemetery. There has been some main stream media coverage but all in all is not much.
Solemn prayer vigils were conducted at the 52
gravesites across the United States, as well as at dozens of other sites dedicated in memory of aborted children. Saturday's service in Hillside ended with people leaving a white rose at the grave where 2033 unborn children are buried.
Pro Life billboards are appearing around the Chicago area. Some read, “A baby is a baby, born and unborn.”
