It's kind of absurd

Obama lifts the ban on US aid money going to any organisation that provides abortions and the US House of Representatives goes and passes a similar ban on their own peopleIt's absurd. Federal money banned from paying for a particular class of medical procedures. Why? It's not illegal, so why is a government being barring itself from funding legal

Well, it is a very noisy and influential subsection of the population. Though hopefully not as large or cohesive as is often implied. But the trouble is that it tends to be intolerant people who make all the noise.
Really, though, it's only because Britain's a monarchy that we don't still have the Catholic Church getting into the legal system; kings can do what they like, including throwing out a religion that's too inflexible to suit and starting their own. Plus the church was a seperate entity based out of the country, which makes it easier to get rid of, and not all that popular with the general population anyway.
