Shame and punish
RWNJ's need to be able to have people they can shame and look down upon. They want young unmarried women pregnant. They want mothers and children living in poverty. They want women dying from back alley abortions. It makes them feel moral. They need people to look down upon so they feel good about themselves. Their psychology is not that complicated.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
