'Pro-Life' Herschel Walker Paid for Girlfriend's Abortion

Source: The Daily Beast

Herschel Walker, the football legend now running for Senate in Georgia, says he wants to completely ban abortion, likening it to murder and claiming there should be “no exception” for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.

But the Republican candidate has supported at least one exception—for himself.

A woman who asked not to be identified out of privacy concerns told The Daily Beast that, after she and Walker conceived a child while they were dating in 2009, he urged her to get an abortion. The woman said she had the procedure and that Walker reimbursed her for it.

She supported these claims with a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a “get well” card from Walker, and a bank deposit receipt that included an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker.

That that brain-damaged, pulling guns on his ex-wife and "threatening to blow her head off" fool Walker thinks that abortion is murder, and should stay overturned no matter what, and FEDERALIZED. I guess states rights don't matter to MAGA.

So, HE gets to murder precious fetuses because you know, he's a member of the fetus-loving GQP US Taliban "Let's force little 1o year old's to have her daddy's baby" Party.

I can't see anything this loser has done that's accidently right.

Look at what his son says, and I've critiicized his son a LOT.

Walker hid secret kids, he's a pathological liar, and worse.

But what Christian Walker says about his father speaks volumes about his father, and that is just one tweet. He went after his own father, and mean he tore his dad's face off literally, and Walker's saying that it's a cheap stunt by Warnock? Really? So, Warnock told Walker to murder a precious fetus?



Herschel Walker’s son calls candidate a liar and hypocrite over abortion denial.

23. We (Alabama) elected a former football coach senator.

Tommy Tuberville coached at Auburn for a few years.
His main claim to fame was that they beat Alabama a few years when we had shit coaches.
Before the current Nick Saban era.

Just prior to running, he lived in Florida, but owned a piece of land in Alabama which was just fine for the Alabama Republican Party.

With Richard Selby retiring, Tuberville will be our half term SENIOR SENATOR from the great state of Alabama.

Our new junior senator will likely be Katie Britt a bible loving mom, married to a former Alabama football hero, who is pro life, etc., etc.

WE. ARE. FUCKED.

58. IMO this is about to change. Walker's son outed him about violence against him and his mom

along with threatening them with a gun and more. This is NOT gonna go away nor will some of the voters Walker was counting on to forgive and forget it vote his way. Family violence is bigger deal here than the pollsters seem to realize. The news about Walker paying for his then girlfriend's abortion in 2009 will likely cause a few resignations in his campaign tomorrow if not later this week.

Christian Walker, son of Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R), tweets:

I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.

Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one.

He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. I’m done.

71. The Plot Sickens

Walker's team knew of an abortion allegation months before it surfaced

His team was aware and had time to prepare. They just hoped it wouldn’t come out before the election.

Months before news broke alleging that Herschel Walker paid for an abortion, top Republicans in the state -- including those advising his team -- warned him that the story could torpedo his campaign.

Four people with knowledge of those preliminary discussions said that the abortion issue was well known within the state, even before reporters began inquiring about it....
