Michael Steele Apologizes For Abortion Statement

Michael Steele Apologizes For Abortion Statement – After being blasted by every single member of his party RNC Chairman Michael Steele is now saying sorry for claiming that he supports “individual choice” and state-level decisions on abortion.Steele said in a statement:

I am pro-life, always have been, always will be.
I tried to present why I am pro life while recognizing that my mother had a “choice” before deciding to put me up for adoption. I thank her every day for supporting life. The strength of the pro life movement lies in choosing life and sharing the wisdom of that choice with those who face difficult circumstances. They did that for my mother and I am here today because they did. In my view Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided and should be repealed. I realize that there are good people in our party who disagree with me on this issue.
But the Republican Party is and will continue to be the party of life. I support our platform and its call for a Human Life Amendment. It is important that we stand up for the defenseless and that we continue to work to change the hearts and minds of our fellow countrymen so that we can welcome all children and protect them under the law.

How long will Michael Steele last as the RNC chairman?
