Dr. James B Kahn, national abortion surveillance officer of the US Public Health Service in Atlanta, described in 1971 how, after legalization of abortion in New York and other states, the number of abortions skyrocketed. As recounted by Fr. Paul Marx who heard him speak at a conference about abortion:
“[It has been] documented from the best sources and the latest available statistics the fact that abortions were now “dramatically increasing” despite “gross underreporting” following the “advancing wave of liberal abortion legislation.” The significant rise in the total number of abortions across the United States repeated the unvarying pattern established after similar legislation in other countries.”
