Christians had a "Great Pro-Life Hope," but then he kicked Jesus in the balls and punched the Virgin Mary in the face when, in a position of power, he told people it was okay to use condoms for AIDS prevention and then made friends with the devil (Hillary Clinton).
Quote:How a Great Pro-Life Hope Disappointed His Allies
Of the Christian conservatives whom Ronald Reagan appointed to high office after winning the presidency in 1980, none excited evangelicals like his pick for surgeon general, C. Everett Koop.
Koop, they were sure, was a true believer in the Lord and the pro-life cause. He was a ruling elder at a renowned evangelical church. He had spoken at Wheaton College. He had opposed abortion even in the early 1970s, before most evangelicals had joined the pro-life movement.
Given Koop’s evangelical and pro-life bona fides, his nomination to be surgeon general polarized members of Congress along predictable ideological lines. Pro-choice liberals strongly opposed him, while pro-life Christian conservatives relished the chance to see one of their own in a position of national influence.
But to the dismay of pro-life Christians, Koop did almost nothing to address abortion as surgeon general. Instead, Koop spent most of his political capital fighting smoking and AIDS. Koop’s approach to AIDS especially rankled some conservative culture warriors because his proposed solution was to encourage condom use rather than abstinence alone.
He developed a friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton since he supported their universal health care plan. And he never fully patched up his strained relationship with conservative evangelicals who thought he had abandoned his principles.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
