Abstract
Because New York State's abortion law is the most liberal in the United States and because New York City lies at the heart of one of the world's largest concentrations of peoples, the city has indeed become the "abortion capital of the nation." During the first 12 months after the implementation of a new and liberalized abortion law on July 1, 1970, about 168,000 legal abortions were performed in New York City, of which about 105,000 involved nonresident women.1 This vast expansion of a highly specialized service, without any serious disruption of other medical services, could not have been achieved . . .Keywords
