Obama Would Veto Bill to Ban Taxpayer Abortion Funding

Came across this and thought it would be relevant here.
I get the feeling the tides are actually changing, and more and more people in the US are seeing through the lies to realise that abortion takes the life of a human being, isn't safe for women or rare, etc. The thing I don't get, is why not use the taxes elsewhere, like positive investment into society to stimulate the economy further? Don't mean to comment on US politics, just found it interesting... expected even... that Obama would veto. Australia has its own issues though.

- The House of Representatives yesterday approved legislation that will put in place a complete ban on taxpayer funding of abortions that ensures abortions are not directly funded in any federal governmental program or department. The White House says President Obama would veto it.
The legislation combines several policies that must be enacted every year in Congressional battles and puts them into law where they will not be in jeopardy of being overturned every time Congress changes hands from pro-life lawmakers to those who support abortions.
The House voted 227-188 for the bill with 221 Republicans and 6 Democrats voting to ban taxpayer funding of abortions under HR 7 while 187 Democrats and one Republican voted against it.
According to the Washington Times, the president would issue a veto if the measure is somehow approved in the Senate or attached to legislation the Senate passes.
As a controversial bill banning federal abortion funding heads to the House floor this week, the Obama administration is threatening a veto if it reaches the president’s desk.
