Despite campaigning heavily against abortion, former NFL star and current Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker has been hit for previously paying for a girlfriend's abortion.
Now, however, a second woman has come forward saying that the former football star also pressured her to get an abortion, going against everything he campaigned for.
According to The Hill, a second woman who chose to remain anonymous has accused the Republican senate candidate of pressuring her to have an abortion in 1993. She stated that she and Walker had a "Years-long affair."
Second Woman Calls Herschel Walker a 'Hypocrite' on His Abortion Stance
The second woman, who is currently only identified as "Jane Doe," is being represented by famous attorney, Gloria Allred, best known for taking high-profile cases against famous people and organizations like Tommy Lee, R, Kelly, and the Boy Scouts of America.
The famous lawyer stated that Walker began a "romantic and intimate relationship" with the second woman in November 1987, while he was still married to another woman. They had been in a relationship for years, and the woman found out she was pregnant in April 1993.
This was when Walker gave her some money to get an abortion in Dallas. However, she decided not to go through the procedure until Walker drove her to a clinic in Dallas the next day and waited with her in a parking lot before she went inside to get the abortion.
According to the BBC, the second accuser then called the Republican anti-abortion candidate of being a "hypocrite" who is "not fit to be a US senator."
In her statement, the second woman pointed out that while the anti-abortion advocate had "publicly taken the position that he is about life and against abortion under any circumstance," he had pressured her into receiving one. She also stated that Walker himself "personally ensured that it occurred" by driving her to the clinic himself and paid for it with his own money.
Allred then presented alleged love letters between them to prove their relationship, as well as a 1992 voicemail and a hotel receipt.
Walker called this latest accusation against him a "lie."
"I'm done with this foolishness," he said during a campaign rally. "I already told people this is a lie, and I'm not going to entertain, continue, to carry a lie along."
Herschel Walker Doubles Down on Police Argument Despite Being Proven He Was Never a Police Officer
Herschel Walker already has plenty of controversies, including falsely claiming that he was a police officer. During his debate against Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock, Walker flashed a fake police badge before claiming that he was part of the force.
Despite the evidence otherwise, Walker is doubling down on his assertions as NPR has reported that his campaign has ordered 1,000 imitation badges to distribute at an upcoming fundraiser. He plans to use these as a fundraising prop at an event in Macon, Georgia.
He says that he wants to highlight his support to law enforcement by handing out those fake badges. However, this stunt did not go over too well with actual cops.
Johnson County Sheriff Greg Rowland gave Walker that badge, which was only an honorary sheriff's badge.
In a statement, the sheriff said, "If Herschel's badge is a prop, then I guess this badge I wear every day to protect the citizens, this is a prop also."
