No Abortions in the Big Tent

Yesterday, The Politico reported that the Republican National Committee's employee healthcare plan covers elective abortion and has done so since 1991.

Today, they report that RNC Chair Michael Steele has announced they're changing the coverage immediately:
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," Chairman Michael Steele said in a statement. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
All right then.

Prepare yourselves for a visit from a steampunk abortion robot. I'm just sayin'.
