Well caught with their pants down...they come out with this

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican National Committee has instructed its insurance company to
remove a provision from the committee's health insurance policy that covered elective abortion for employees.

"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," RNC Chairman Michael Steele said in a statement released late Thursday. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."

In a note accompanying the statement, the RNC said this type of coverage dated to 1991.
The Politico newspaper first reported the story Thursday.

5. why doesn't the RNC stick to their "moral values" and

sever ties with the insurance company? I mean, the company supports "abortion rights", right?

Maybe the RNC should have read the coverage plan ... it's been available for, what, 18 years? You'd think that someone would have read that "bill" ...
