ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports:
The chairman of the Republican National Committee announced late Thursday that he is unilaterally ending coverage of elective abortion under the RNC's Cigna health-care plan.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," said RNC Chair Michael Steele in a written statement. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
The RNC's coverage of elective abortion, which began in 1991, was first reported on Thursday evening by Politico.
