Normally a woman of childbearing age ovulates once every lunar month, an average of 14 days before the expected onset of menstruation. Her ovaries then expel one or more egg cells, ripe for fertilization. An individual egg (ovum) is drawn into the fallopian tube (oviduct) to begin a four-day journey toward the uterus. After intercourse, the husband's spermatozoa swim upstream through the uterus into the fallopian tubes, and if one sperm succeeds in penetrating an ovum, conception has occurred. The conceptus, repeatedly doubling the number of its cells, enters the uterus and imbeds itself in the lining...

The regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco was seeking to expel the Bishop of Bilbao, Antonio Añoveros Ataun, 64, for statements that sharply opposed government policy. Madrid even hinted that it might break the 1953 concordat that protects Catholicism's legal position as Spain's state religion.
