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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Proof of pregnancy not necessary. Since the amendment to section 274 of the Penal Code in 1935, it has not been necessary to prove that the woman on whom the operation was performed was pregnant at the time of the commission of the offense. (Rinker v. State Board of Medical Examiners, 59 Cal.App.2d 222, 224 [ 138 P.2d 403, 405 ]; People v. Emery, 79 Cal.App.2d 226, 231 [ 179 P.2d 843 ].) The performing of the operation with the intent on the part of the accused person to produce or procure a miscarriage constitutes the offense even though the woman on whom the operation is performed is not in fact pregnant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Ton are instructed that the testimony of the woman upon whom the abortion was alleged to have been performed, if believed and meeting the requirements of the laws herein stated, is insufficient without corroboration to prove that the crime was committed. The corroboration required by law is such corroboration as tends to connect the defendant with the commission of the alleged crime as is further stated in my instructions.””
