Ulrich "George" Klopfer (1940-2019) was an American osteopathic physician and abortion provider from Indiana and Illinois. Klopfer was born in 1940 in Dresden, Germany, and living there when the allies firebombed the city in 1945.

At the age of 11, Klopfer came with his family to the United States in 1952. Attending Bloomfield High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, he was both smart and a record-breaking track athlete. A competitor in heart and soul, his goal was to represent the United States in the Olympics.

Klopfer attended the University of Michigan from 1960-1962 and graduated from Wayne State University in 1965 with a degree in organic chemistry. He graduated from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1971 and completed his internship and residency at Chicago Osteopathic Hospital in 1976.

In 1978, Klopfer received a Physician's Temporary Permit to work at Women's Pavilion, an abortion facility in South Bend, Indiana. By November of that year he was performing abortions at Chicago Loop Mediclinic.

Klopfer first gained notoriety in November 1978 when the Chicago Sun-Times published its "The Abortion Profiteers" series documenting illicit, disturbing practices among Chicago-area abortion centers.

Klopfer's competitive streak, however, remained undisturbed. According to Wikipedia, "A nurse reported to an undercover investigator that Dr. Ming Kow Hah and Klopfer would race each other to see who could complete the most abortions in a single day. 'When Hah is here, Klopfer really zips. Hah marks the patients on his leg, and if Klopfer sees that Hah's got a leg full, he goes like wildfire to catch up. read more
