15. The impact of rural repopulation was determined by subtracting
the resident population of the United States in 1970 from a hypothetical
population wherein all counties in the country had been repopulated to their
historical maximum. This figure was adjusted to remove some of the bias
attributable to the exodus from some of our central cities, since our intent
was to focus on the effects of rural repopulation only. It was found that rural
repopulation under the conditions described above would absorb no more than 11
million people, or about five years worth of national growth as projected under
the 2-child family assumption.

25. These estimates are based on the number of children ever born
to 35- to 44-year-old women according to their ethnic origin (U.S. Bureau of
the Census, Current
Population Reports, Series P-20, No. 226, “Fertility Variations by
Ethnic Origin: November 1969,” 1971). The number of children theoretically
required for replacement was calculated by multiplying the number of women in
each ethnic group by 2.07 (the average number of children per woman 35 to 44
consistent with completed fertility at the replacement level). This
hypothetical number of children was then subtracted from the actual number of
children born to women in each ethnic group, to estimate fertility in excess of
replacement needs.
26. The data for poor and nonpoor women were developed in the same
manner (see note 25), utilizing U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series
P-20, No. 211, “Previous and Prospective Fertility: 1967,” 1971. Partly
estimated.
27. Births throughout the sixties (1960-1968) were obtained from
the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, Vital Statistics of the United States,
Natality, and subtracted from the total January 1, 1969 population
to determine their relative impact. Spanish-origin births were estimated.

quick child was a high crime at Common Law.. . although one commentator has
argued persuasively that, in fact, it was not, that abortion was a purely
ecclesiastical offence punishable only by spiritual penalties and that the
secular crime of abortion was created by the imagination of Sir Edward Coke who
felt strongly that abortion after quickening should be punished and that the
purely spiritual penalties of the ecclesiastical courts would not deter the
people from it. (See, generally, Means, ‘The Phoenix of Abortional Freedom: Is
a Penumbral or Ninth-Amendment Right About to Arise from the Nineteenth-Century
Legislative Ashes of a Fourteenth-Century Common-Law Liberty?’ [17 New York Law
