Lakoff: Repugnacons are pro-death

And women's rights are pro-freedom. See his latest post. Some highlights:

"A woman’s right to control her own reproductive health is fundamentally a matter of freedom. Women should have the right to control their own bodies and make their own healthcare and family decisions, including the decision over whether to have an abortion. When women are stripped of this right, they are stripped of equality, liberty and freedom. [...] For conservatives, the ends justify the means as long as they accomplish their aim — imposing their form of morality on everyone else."

"On many issues, the conservative version of freedom is better described as pro-death. Just look at the debate over guns. Conservatives frame guns as freedom no matter how many people — including children in schools — lose their lives. They also frame the burning of fossil fuels as an issue of freedom and 'independence' even though global warming threatens every life on the planet."
