Anti-abortion
Anti-abortion movements, also self-styled as pro-life or abolitionist movements, are involved in the abortion debate advocating against the practice of abortion and its legality. Many anti-abortion movements began as countermovements in response to the legalization of elective abortions. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. Europe In Europe, abortion law varies by country, and has been legalized through parliamentary acts in some countries, and constitutionally banned or heavily restricted in others. In Western Europe this has had the effect at once of both more closely regulating the use of abortion, and at the same time mediating and reducing the impact anti-abortion campaigns have had on the law. France The first specifically anti-abortion organization in France, Laissez-les-vivre-SOS futures mères, was created in 1971 during the debate that was to lead to the Veil Law in 1975. Its main spokesman was the geneticist Jér ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Winn Professorship Of Ecclesiastical History
The Winn Professorship of Ecclesiastical History is an endowed chair at Harvard Divinity School. It was established in 1877 by a bequest from Jonathan Bowers Winn (1811-1873), a public-minded and prosperous business man in Woburn, Massachusetts. History Jonathan Bowers Winn, who died in 1873, had left $100,000 in a trust for his son, which would transfer to the " Unitarian Denomination" should his son die "without issue," which in fact happened two years later. As a result, the sum was to be disposed of under the direction of Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909), a Unitarian minister, and Andrew P. Peabody (1811-1893), Plummer Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard Divinity School. The two concluded that a professorship in Ecclesiastical History at the Unitarian Harvard Divinity School would be a worthy cause, and petitioned the Supreme Judicial Court for permission to use a portion of the funds to that end. The court granted the petition in 1877, concluding that since "Harvard ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
