Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee in Georgia's Senate race, on Monday said a report that he paid for an abortion more than a decade ago was a 'flat-out lie' and a 'repugnant hatchet job.'
he had paid for a woman's abortion after the two conceived a child while they were dating in 2009. The Daily Beast reported the woman, who the outlet said asked to remain anonymous due to privacy concerns, had supported those claims with a US$575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a bank deposit receipt that showed an image of a signed personal check for $700 from Walker, and a "get well" card she claimed was from Walker, who was not married at the time.
A first-time candidate for office, Walker, a Republican endorsed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, has opposed abortion rights. He said last month he would support a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks. He said in May that he supports a ban on abortion rights and that there are "no exceptions in my mind."
In an interview Monday night, Walker told Fox's Sean Hannity that he didn't know the woman making the accusation and that he hadn't seen the card. "I send out to so many, get well, send out so much of anything, but I can tell you right now I never asked anyone to get an abortion, I never paid for an abortion, and it's a lie."
"I'll let the pundits decide how they think it will impact the race," Warnock said. "But I have been consistent in my view that a patient's room is too narrow and cramped a space for a woman, her doctor, and the government. ... And my opponent, on the other hand, is talking about a nationwide ban with no exceptions."
