Commercialization

The Historic Struggle of Life and Choice In the pre-1800s, there was no definite rule of the land on the abortion; there was only civil law tradition of punishing abortion if abortion is done after the fetus was viable; the standard of whether the fetus was viable was “quickening”.

One of the initial areas the institutions began to treat athletics as a “commercialized” entity was during apparel negotiations with apparel companies.
