(It looks like Presidential candidate Fred Thompson doesn't believe the Lord's commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (murder) in Exodus 20:13 nor does he believe that the Lord hates "hands that shed innocent blood" (Proverbs 6:16-17).

Fred Thompson Says Life Begins at Conception But Opposes Criminalizing Abortion

While Thompson admitted that he hoped Roe v. Wade would be one day overturned because it was "wrongly decided", he said that he would not support a constitutional amendment that would outlaw the murder of unborn children.  Thompson said that the idea of such an amendment only "originally came out as a response" to Roe v. Wade.

To the disappointment of many pro-lifers and despite his campaign website's claim that his presidency would be used to "encourage policies that promote a culture of life", Thompson reiterated a clichéd justification of his position saying that he was personally opposed to abortion but that he thought that states should have the authority to decide if the killing of unborn children was to be considered legal or criminal.
 

Thompson agreed that abortion was the taking of human life but he again tried to justify his inconsistent position saying, "[Y]ou can't have a law that cuts off an age group or something like that, which potentially would take young, young girls in extreme situations and say, basically, we're going to put them in jail to do that. I just don't think that that's the right thing to do."
