Searched a few different ways to see if this was posted yet. Sorry if duplicate. Welcome news, to be sure. Hope to see more "defections," as it were.

If all 600+ pp buildings closed, there’d still be, oh, 13,000+ low cost/no costclinics that would and do cater to women.

A good move and for the better, now if the conservatives could only get rid of the establishment DC elitists who care for nothing.

I never understand how abortion is some holy grail of “women’s health”. To liberals if you oppose abortion you oppose women getting health care. How do they get away with this??

I guess its better that he switched than if he didn’t, but spare me the fake outrage. He damn well knew this was going on before he saw the pictures. He’s just upset that the public now knows.

Baffling how the practice of abortion has become so insulated from the public conscience over the past century. The slippery slope began with the promotion of so-called birth control.

Decades of lazy public schools and lazy parents for starters.

Very well. If not the fear of God, at least fear of a public who fears God. No one who espouses abortion in any way is fit to serve in public office in the first place. They ought to be deprived not only of office, but of pulling the levers of self-government.

I don’t see why.

The GOP isn’t going to do a thing about it.

If standing against women’s health care including Pap smears, breast cancer screenings

*********************************************************************

P.P.’s “breast cancer screenings” consists of referring women to other clinics that actually have mammogram equipment because no P.P. facility in the whole country has any such equipment.

P.P.’s other claim, that abortion is only 3% of their business, is nothing but a damn’d lie. They are murder inc.

So, this fellow finally moved out his cave on the moon and found out the rats love abortion! Good for him.

I believe in the sanctity of life. I believe in traditional marriage. I believe in helping Arkansans.

If he thought that way before the PP videos came out, then, why did it take the PP videos for him to switch parties.

The republican values were well-known, and if this politician had those same values, why was he a democrat?

OurCampaigns has it as 64. The GOP won 64 to 36 in Nov 2014 but some third (final) term Republican member switched to Independent in June, so this brings it back up to 64 again (Dems 35 and the 1 I).

Today, Arkansas State Representative Mike Holcomb joined the list of defectors by leaving the Democratic Party and joining the Republican Party.

Like the changes anything!

The GOP leaders are all in for planned parenthood as they are liberal leftist democrats in the first place.

Because the local Republican Party in Eastern AR (especially SE AR) was weak to non-existent until the last few years. With his switch, he becomes the Southeasternmost Republican member of the AR House.
