![]() ![]() ![]() Keywords: women of color / Native American women / reproductive rights / pro-choice / pro-life / prisons / prison industrial complex / capitalism / contraceptives Once, while taking an informal survey of Native women in Chicago about their position on abortion-were they " pro-life " or " pro-choice " -I quickly found that their responses did not neatly match up with these media-mandated categories.īetween 20, nearly 150 women were unlawfully sterilized in California prisons. Instead, women of color activists should develop alternative paradigms for articulating reproductive justice that make critiques of capitalism and criminalization central to the analysis rather than simply expand either pro-choice or pro-life frameworks. While both camps of the pro-choice and pro-life debate give lip service to addressing the concerns of women of color, in the end the manner in which both articulate the issues at stake contributes to their support of political positions that are racist and sexist and which do nothing to support either life or real choice for women of color. ![]() ![]() The pro-life versus pro-choice paradigm serves to both reify and mask the structures of white supremacy and capitalism that undergird the reproductive choices that women make. This paper argues that the pro-life versus pro-choice paradigm for understanding reproductive rights is a model that marginalizes women of color, poor women, women with disabilities, and women from other marginal-ized communities. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe it's a kind of tribute? If the scientifically correct were sure of their ground, perhaps they wouldn't feel the need to behave so shiftily?īut they do, more's the pity on several deep and important, levels. The 1999 Horizon documentary about Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval was a shining example of this, cut, dried and well documented in the adjudication of the Broadcasting Standards Commission. Then they go right ahead and attribute to others claims they have never made just so they can rubbish them! ![]() Typically the 'scientifically correct,' as I like to think of them, present themselves as high-minded defenders of intellectual rigour. Something that often surprises me about the opponents of alternative history is how readily they stoop to intellectual dishonesty. ![]() Alternative History and Esoteric Philosophy The Secret History of the World, by Jonathan Black, published in paperback by Quercus Books, London, 2008, is available from all good bookshops and from .uk.

It was a time when Christianity stood at a crossroads. But it was the challenges, obstacles, and transitions faced by Christians in the second century that, in many ways, would determine the future of the church for the next two millennia. ![]() And while its pathway was tenuous, Christianity was forming structures of leadership and worship, and a core of apostolic texts was emerging as authoritative. While apostolic tradition was emerging as a "rule of faith," factions contested the nature of the gospel, and pagan philosophers found its claims scandalous. ![]() Initially Christianity possessed little social or cultural influence and found itself fighting for its life. But in the second century, its future was not at all certain. ![]() Christianity in the twenty-first century is a global phenomenon. ![]() ![]() ![]() Matt Fraction graphic novel manga 『Thor』 'The Age of Thunder'. The problem is that with the end of the two works, including the omnibus, until 2017, there is no news about the Thor series. ![]() Since then, 《Thor Omniverse》, which is considered a masterpiece in 2013 was corrected and made up for the image of the domestic version of Thor. suffered Still, it's the best rating out of all of them, but. It is a work that hits the back of the head of fans who would have bought it expecting an unknown story development based on mythology (.) and Thor's hot action. The construction company, which develops Marvel Comics comics in Korea, thought that this characteristic was a work that showed what the character Thor was like. In the original version, Kyu-Won Lee translated the narration into a gore tone as if reading the Bible to bring out the mood of the work. In a way, it is a work that focuses more on Thor of the original myth rather than 'Thor, the hero of Marvel Comics '. ![]() ![]() The story is mainly based on various anecdotes from the original Norse mythology, and the narration is as if reading a myth, so you can figure out what kind of image Thor as the god of thunder in mythology is. As an anecdotal work in the Thor series, the story flows around the short stories that tell the story before Thor falls to Midgard and becomes a superhero. ![]() ![]() The Bell Shakespeare Company toured Australia with the play Storm Boy in 1996, with Trent Atkinson in the title role.
