Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Life insurance — Death through immoral act — Abortion.</p> <p>Where a policy of insurance contains the provision that “If the member shall die at any time in consequence, directly or indirectly, of his or her immoral, intemperate or criminal action, this certificate shall be void,” and a further stipulation that “This certificate shall be incontestable after two years from its date if all due premiums shall be paid, except in case of fraud, and provided the member still has the qualification necessary to membership of the American Catholic Union,” the death of the insured, over six years subsequent to the issuance of the last policy, caused by a self-inflicted abortion, will avoid the policy.</p>
