1. Lakoff suggests we avoid the word "abortion" altogether.

I like to call it "forced pregnancy." I also like to tell advocates of forced pregnancy that this issue is too important to be decided by slimy politicians - that we need a grand national debate on this important matter that brings together scientists and clergy, doctors and ethicists, attorneys and ordinary people.

2. Pro-choice vs. "NO-CHOICE"

Let women know that with the no-choice side they have no control and are looked on as baby factories.
I think someday our gov't will be arresting men who waste their seed. Do I need to spell this out?

3. By assuming the Radical RW's language, we advance their frame.

4. Exactly.

Hell would break loose if men couldn't masturbate. But then again, maybe the old saying will be changed to "9 out of 10 men masturbate. The remaining 10% are lying republicans."
