A new report says Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker paid for an abortion for his girlfriend in 2009.
The Daily Beast spoke to the former girlfriend, who asked that her name not be used out of concerns for her privacy. In the report published late Monday, the news outlet said it reviewed a receipt showing her $575 payment for the procedure, along with a get-well card from Walker and her bank deposit records showing the image of a $700 personal check from Walker dated five days after the abortion receipt.
Matt Fuller, the politics editor for The Daily Beast, tweeted in response to Walker’s initial denial: “I can tell you we stand behind every word and feel very solid about the story.” Former President Donald Trump, who encouraged Walker to run for Senate, said Walker was being “slandered and maligned.”
The allegation against Walker is the latest in a series of stories about the football legend’s past that has rocked the first-time candidate’s campaign in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Earlier this year, Walker Walker has often boasted of his work helping service members and veterans struggling with mental health.
“I’m for life,” Walker has said repeatedly as he campaigns. When asked about whether he’d allow for any exceptions, he has said there are “no excuses” for the procedure. “I have a profound reverence for life. I have a deep and abiding respect for choice. I believe a patient’s room is too small and cramped a space for a woman, her doctor and the United States government,” he said, emphasizing Walker’s support for a national ban.
