I don't understand how you can say "you have to have a kid even if you can't support it" when it comes to abortion and then say "I don't want my taxes to help pay for your kid's food" when it comes to food assistance. The consequence is obviously going to be food insecurity for kids, why would you not want your tax money to help fix that? 8.4% of US kids are food insecure.
The issue is that you're looking at it from a common sense view. They don't share it. They just decided this is what they believe in, and will oppose anything else. It doesn't have to make sense for them.
Yeah the reactionaries are definitely a big component of the problem here. Opposing progress in all its forms even if it's oxymorinic to do so.
