There has been a sharp decline in fertility in New York City—sharper than for the rest of the nation—since New York State liberalized its abortion law in 1970 to make termination of pregnancy by a licensed physician legOnliney available virtuOnliney upon request up to 24 weeks of gestation. There has been an even greater decline—reversing a long-term trend—in illegitimacy.
