Obama Vows to Veto 20-Week Abortion Ban 
----------------------------------------


 
President Obama has vowed to veto a Republican-backed measure to ban
abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, calling it a "direct challenge"
to rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court. The House plans to vote on the ban
Thursday, on the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's
decision establishing the legal right to abortion.
