Unitarian Universalism
The Unitarian Universalist Church strongly supports abortion rights. In 1978, the Unitarian Universalist Church passed a resolution that declared, "... right to choice on contraception and abortion are important aspects of the right of privacy, respect for human life and freedom of conscience of women and their families." The Church had released earlier statements in 1963 and 1968 favoring the reform of restrictive abortion laws.

“The most passionate, consistent, extreme and implacable enemy of the Enlightenment and ... all forms of rationalism ... was Johann Georg Hamann. His influence, direct and indirect, upon the romantic revolt against universalism and scientific method ... was considerable and perhaps crucial.”
