Pageant Magazine 1973, July - "World's Largest Abortion Clinic" - Journey's End - New York City Abortion Capitol

On July 1, 1970, the New York State legislature "ruled that all females, regardless of marital status, age or residency, might have an abortion within the state provided she was no more than 24 weeks pregnant." Less than a year later the largest industrial-strength abortion plant in the world opened up in New York City, it was called Parkmed Clinic:

"An estimated 400,000 abortions were performed in New York City in the first two years (July 1, 1970 - July 30, 1972) under New York State's liberal abortion law. Of these, more than half, or approximately 250,000 abortions, were to terminate pregnancies 12 weeks and under."
