WASHINGTON D.C. - Congressman Roger Williams has signed a letter to House leadership stating he will not support a government funding bill that contains funding for Planned Parenthood.
The letter, authored by Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), was sent to Speaker of the House John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
"The recent allegations against Planned Parenthood are morally reprehensible," said Williams. "There is no justification for the American people to finance an organization that has such disregard for human life."

WASHINGTON (September 10, 2015) The Iran nuclear deal survived a key vote Thursday in the U.S. Senate, in a victory for President Barack Obama.
Democrats held together to block a resolution of disapproval against the deal.
The vote was 58-42 in favor of proceeding, but 60 votes were needed for the resolution to advance to a final vote.
The outcome means the disapproval resolution will not reach Mr. Obama's desk, and the nuclear deal will move forward unchecked by Congress.

"Why not?" a member of the audience retorted.
"Someone's got to turn the lights out," Williams said.
