"I believe in the sanctity of life. I believe in traditional marriage. I believe in helping Arkansans ...I cannot in good faith continue as a member of that party." –Arkansas State Representative Mike Holcomb

(Pine Bluff, AR)—The release of undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood's barbaric merchandizing of live babies for profit has resulted in the defection of a Democrat legislator to the Republican party.

After seeing the latest Planned Parenthood video, Arkansas State Representative Mike Holcomb decided he has had enough.

The two-term representative explained, "I’ve chosen to join the Republican Party because I firmly believe that the conservative values they represent best align with my own personal beliefs and convictions."

"I believe in the sanctity of life," the Pine Bluff politician reasoned. "I believe in traditional marriage. I believe in helping Arkansans."

Another reason Holcomb decided to join the Republican Party is the Democrat party’s opposition to the decision by Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson to cut funding to Planned Parenthood.
