Most-quoted passages
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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“bond and affection between child and parent, the pride in a child's achievement, and the comfort, counsel, and society of a child are incaleulable benefits, which should not be measured by some misplaced attempt to put a specific dollar value on a child's life.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Our ruling today is limited to the unique facts of this case and the narrow issue presented. We hold only that the parent of a normal, healthy child may not maintain an action to recover the expenses of rearing that child from a physician whose alleged negligence in performing a therapeutic abortion permitted the birth of such child.”
