1. Roe v Wade?

2. There are many evangelical churches in the US that send money to dictatorships, for example, [1], [2] , I can collect you a longer list.

3. This point is clearly very specific to Japan, I can't find a bijection within a few minutes.

But, we aren't that different , really.

The bijection you are looking for might be the evangelical groups in the US (including some politicians) who support Israel because they believe that if all jews return there, the eschaton will begin. Think what you will about their goals, it is difficult to reconcile the literal apocalypse as "good for America."

>[1] The church is pretty small only making up about 27 people and was mainly sending medical supply's and food to the island not funding what you may call a "dictatorships" They were mostly advocating for the us to remove its blockade on cube and reestablish relations with the island

>[2] more of the same just church's sending aid to a country that's in economic turmoil the article title is blatant fear mongering

If you understand how Cuba works, you will get why this is the same as funding the government, not the people. The blockade in Cuba is more internal than external. There is plenty of resources online that shows the human rights violations, persecution, murders and incarcerations, the Cuban regimen have been doing for decades, and continue doing.

3. Yes, this is very unique problem in Japan and that's why it is difficult to see this issue.

> But, we aren't that different , really.

I am not sure if I understand your point. Both U.S. and Japan have relatively loose regulation against cult groups, but as a Japanese citizen, I think this situation should be changed.

The fact that we aren't that different does not negate the fact that the problem needs to be solved.

I agree, I was just suggesting is not that different. The problem should be addressed in both places.
