The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ The complaint as originally filed and sworn to alleged that appellant ‘by means of instruments and medicinal preparations attempted to and did procure’ two certain ‘criminal’ abortions, from which in each instance death resulted. Prior to the conclusion of the hearing before the board, amendments were allowed to conform to the proof so that the complaint in each count alleged that appellant also ‘agreed and/or offered to’ procure said abortions. ’ ’”
