Karl Marx's Not Your Incubator

My motto before taking this class had always been, "I 'm not going to do that, but I am not going to stop anyone from doing it. " I knew for sure that I was in support of gay marriage, had no problem with people who chose to work in the sex industry, and told myself that abortion is a choice that everyone woman had the right to make, just not me. In general I hadn 't given much thought to anything else. I tend to avoid politically tense conversations. I was raised in rural western Colorado, and both of my parents are conservative, my dad plans on voting for Donald Trump.

In Thomson 's essay, she declares that a woman is not responsible for her pregnancy provided she took appropriate measures to prevent it. Other philosophers take Thomson 's position further, assessing that abortions could save a woman 's life (Williams). The life of the unborn child is a necessary sacrifice to protect the life of the mother. Those who take this position believe that the mother has the absolute final authority in choosing what is best considering her life, her circumstances, and her

“Not Your Incubator” illustrates conflict theory by showing how the macroaggression of systemic misogyny relates to the governments regulation of a women’s sexual and reproductive health, as well as the objectifying nature of debating the legality of a woman’s physical autonomy. “Not Your Incubator” is a political illustration that uses contrasting themes of objectification and ownership. It is inspired by “Riot Grrrl” feminism, a subset of third wave feminism. It invites the audience to use sociological imagination to evaluate how misogyny affects a woman’s relationship with her body. While limited by its narrow scope, “Not Your Incubator” provides context for Conflict Theory by relating a large societal conflict to the lives of everyday citizens.

Free the Nipple is part of a larger mission to regain women’s bodies, sexuality, and safety.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.” Said and written in one of Alice Walker’s novels, Possessing the Secret of Joy. The novel encompasses the impact of having culturally controlled gender roles and brings awareness to how women feel powerless in their society. Her quote shows how quickly ignorance in humanity stunts the growth of empowered people. Moreover, this quote can represent the relationship between power and women, which, consequently, is discussed in the documentary, Miss Representation. Alice Walker’s wise words appear in the first shot of this film.

Americans fought the infiltration of communism (e.g. Marxist-Leninism and Stalinism) by making the word ‘communist’ synonymous with ‘criminal’. For fear of being labeled a communist and prosecuted by the U.S. court system, individuals were discouraged from sharing their radical ideas, which was a tactic Stalin used to enforce his ideas and the acceptance of socialism as the only true form of government. Stalin wrote about the downfall of capitalism in “Dialectical and Historical Materialism,” stating: “These irreconcilable contradictions between the character of the productive forces and the relations of production make themselves felt in periodical crisis of overproduction, when the capitalists, finding no effective demand for their goods owing to the ruin of the mass of the population which they themselves have brought about, are compelled…[to] destroy productive forces at a time when millions of people are forced to suffer unemployment and starvation… because there is an overproduction of good. This means that the capitalist relations of production have ceased to correspond to the state  productive forces of society… capitalism is pregnant with revolution, whose mission it is to replace the existing capitalist ownerships of the means of

People that are pro-choice believe that it is the choice of the women to decide if they are going to get an abortion or not because it is their right. One argument for pro-choice is that abortion allows women to take control of their lives and their bodies. Women can gain control through contraceptives, but they are not a guarantee. Sometimes condoms break or the pill was not one hundred percent effect. Sometimes mistakes happen and the only way women can get full control of their lives is by having the right to abortion.

Doris Gudino Professor Chounlamountry Political Science 1 27 July 2015 Pro-Choice Anyone? A woman has, undoubtedly, the freedom to procreate, but once a woman chooses to retreat from that freedom, a commotion arises. Abortion is a woman’s choice for many reasons. It’s her body, therefore, no one else can decide for said person.

Women should have control over her reproductive rights. We would be taking a step back if we got rid of Roe vs. Wade. Additionally, having taxpayers fund contraceptives and abortions can be a positive thing for all women especially women in poverty. Not all women have the financial outlet to pay for contraceptives and abortion.

according to the World Health Organization, today, abortion is one of the commonly performed clinical procedures in the united states, and the death rate from abortion is extremely low: 0.6 per 100,000 procedures. When it comes to legalizing abortion, this law allows women to have a sufficient well-planned abortion so they are not risking any health injuries to

Abortion has been an ongoing debate for quite some time now. According to Learn Teach Change, the definition of abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing the fetus or embryo before it can survive outside of the uterus. When a mother loses her baby naturally it is called a miscarriage. Those who are against abortion often state that an embryo or fetus is a human with a right to live and some will even compare abortion to murder.

In todays secular perspective various individuals deem that the "pro-choice" view of abortion is more sensibly coherent than the "pro-life" view. Several activist debate for women rights and the privilege of a women to have complete control over her body. The secular world, women's rights groups, and the entertainment business promote the Pro-choice evolution: the privilege to decide to have abortion on request. The Pro-choice concept gives individuals the right to choose one’s own life style. Abortion advocates a way of life in which individuals are allowed to participate in sex outside of marriage, and deal with any undesirable children that may happen.

There is no need to risk a woman’s health and livelihood by taking away her choice; only the mother-to-be can know her own situation thoroughly enough to make the best possible decision about her future. This is further supported by the nation’s judicial system during the Roe vs. Wade case in 1973 where Harry Blackmun stated that the “fundamental right of single women and married persons to choose whether or not to have children is protected by the Ninth Amendment, through the Fourteenth Amendment.” This court ruling made abortions decidedly legal in the United States, but many women are still being denied the right to terminate their pregnancies. When the ability to choose a safe and legal option is taken away, women that still seek an abortion

The maiden archetype is fulfilled by Jordan in her independence from men and her subsequent freedom from their oppressive control. The Maiden archetype is traditionally single and virginal, and while neither of these elements are expressly associated with Jordan’s character, her life is not one focused on the approval of men. She is a professional golf player in a time where most famous athletes were men. In fact, many men were strongly against women’s participation in sports, believing that “the entire foundation of femininity was being threatened by women becoming too “mannish” through sport participation” (Evans). This, as well as the traditional male fear of female self-sufficiency and their belief that giving up an ounce of control endangers

The Cold War was a time in history when there was a great political and military turmoil between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Cold War shaped the world in these three ways, women’s rights, society,Cultural. These three changed people in positive and negative ways. Once again, women were called upon to fulfill a role in the defense of America on one hand to perpetuate the American population and on the other to promote American ideals abroad. Women had a chance to be equal to men.
