I'd actually like to see case law in which the Courts have upheld the President witholding abortion funding in opposition to a law passed by Congress allowing such funding.

It is quite obvious that when Congress is silent on an issue and the President decides to not fund X, it does not run afoul of the executive's prorogative. Justice Jackson's concurrance in Youngstown Steel v. Sawyer which has been cited a great deal more than the majority opinion in that case is a good place to start.

Like I stated earlier, the Mexico City Policy is an example of this.
