US Georgia Senate race: Second woman claims Republican Herschel Walker paid for her abortion, read details

A high-profile Republican candidate for the US Senate, Herschel Walker, standing on a strongly anti-abortion platform, faces claims from a second woman that he paid for her to have a termination.

Walker has Donald Trump's backing and is running close to Raphael Warnock in the mid-term race. A second woman spoke to reporters anonymously on Zoom and said Herschel Walker pressurized her to end her pregnancy.

Neither of the two women was comfortable sharing their identity. One woman, whose lawyer addresses her as 'Jana Doe', said she was in a relationship with Walker for years while he was still married and drove her to a clinic.




The news conference was virtual, and the woman did not appear in front of the camera. She said that Walker pressured her to get an abortion. She adds, 'He has publicly taken the position that he is about life and against abortion under any circumstance, when in fact he pressured me to have an abortion and personally ensured that it occurred by driving me to the clinic and paying for it.'

Gloria Allred, her lawyer, showed proof in the form of a hotel receipt, a voicemail from 1992, and love letters to prove the two were in a relationship. Walker rejected the accusation by calling it a lie and reiterates that he is firmly against abortion.
