She doesn't, although this scene is a brilliant example of psychological manipulation. When Macbeth tells her he has decided not to go ahead with the murder after all ("We will proceed no further in this business") she abuses not flatters him. She calls into question his manhood ("When thou durst do it then thou wert a man") and says that she, a weak woman, would have killed her baby in a gruesome way if she had sworn to do it. This grisly image brings him over; he says "If we should fail . . . ?"
Well, she's right on top of that. Worrying about failing means that you are going to try. She knows she's got him now and immediately changes her tune. Now she is all encouragement "But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail" and "What cannot you and I perform upon the unguarded Duncan". She's not flattering him. She is encouraging him by saying what they can do together (note it's "we'll not fail") and by minimizing the risks "Who dares receive it other."

How does Lady Macbeth cover for Macbeth?
There were many examples of deception in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. But the most significant example that had the greatest impact on the course of events was the deception of the three witches. They told Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] that he'd be safe from all men born of women. They said that he needed to fear only the man that wasn't born of a woman. They also told him that he needed to beware of Macduff. But they didn't link the two predictions. So Macbeth had a false sense of security. He never once considered the man not born of woman to be Macduff, who was delivered by Caesarian section from a dead mother.

You're a playwright, the most successful alive. The new King is your patron. You have a record of writing plays to please the reigning monarch. Why not write a play which reinforces the legitimacy of the King's family and shows him to be descended from good guys who had every right to depose the bad guy, Macbeth? Good politics, eh?
