After news broke that the RNC's health insurance covered abortions, Politico reports the party will opt out of such coverage.
Said RNC Chairman Michael Steele: "Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose. I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
Until the announcement, the RNC's plan had covered elective abortion -- a procedure the party's own platform calls "a fundamental assault on innocent human life."
