Santorum denounces Planned Parenthood bombing

Rick Santorum denounced the bombing of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Wisconsin on Monday.

"Violence is never the answer, and I will always condemn any and all violent attacks against our fellow Americans. In this country, we resolve our differences through political discussion and free and fair elections — never by violence," Santorum said in a statement. 

"This upcoming election is about restoring freedom and liberty in America, and a key part of that is to restore a culture that values human life and the dignity of all Americans," Santorum continued. "While we can and should work to defund Planned Parenthood and push back against government mandates that force Americans and religious institutions to violate their faith, violence against our fellow citizens has no place in a freedom-loving America."

Santorum's comments came a few hours after a homemade bomb exploded at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Appleton, Wis., on Monday. There were no injuries as a result of the explosion, although there was some fire damage to the building.
