Yes, bad things happen when governments pretend things to be true that aren’t true.
— pretend there are witches => Salem witch hunts.
— pretend that blacks aren’t fully human => slavery.
— pretend that Jews aren’t fully human => the holocaust.
— pretend that preborn people aren’t fully human => legalized abortion.
— pretend that homosexuality is normal => all sorts of unnatural situations, none of them good.
Whoa!
