The issue of abortion is often cited as a reason for Trump’s support by some evangelicals. To be sure, many evangelicals are turned off by Trump’s self-centered governing. They justify their support by a hope that his policies will lead to stricter laws against abortion.

Yet the Trump administration is a strong supporter of the country of Saudi Arabia. That country has used American weapons to bomb hospitals and schools in a war in Yemen, killing innocent men, women, and children.

Wrote Marcia Robiou (Frontline, July 16, 2019): “Trump’s first official foreign visit was to the royal kingdom – an early sign that he would place a high value on his relationship with the House of Saud. As a candidate, he made Saudi weapons deals a campaign issue, promising they would generate American jobs and boost the U.S. economy.

‘Saudi Arabia is a big buyer of America product,’ Trump said when NBC’s Chuck Todd asked him about the decision to override Congress and push through the weapons deal.”

Thus, for the sake of money made by American arms dealers, the sale of weapons to a country who uses them to kill innocent civilians, including babies, is justified.

Are babies killed by American weapons less valuable than babies killed by abortion?
