An ex-girlfriend of Herschel Walker said Tuesday that the Georgia Republican Senate candidate “menaced” her into having an abortion during a long-term extramarital affair.
The woman told ABC News that the football star, who claims to be pro-life, bullied her into terminating the pregnancy in 1993 after she initially got cold feet about having an abortion.
“It [was] very menacing,” said the woman, who spoke on camera for the first time but continues to withhold her name. “I felt threatened, and I thought I had no choice.”
The woman, who identified only as Jane Doe, says she is a supporter of former President Donald Trump but believes Walker is a hypocrite who does not deserve to be elected
“I think honesty matters,” she said.
Walker denied the woman’s account when she first came forward last week. She is the second ex-girlfriend to accuse him of pressuring them into getting abortions, and paying for their procedures.
He branded her “some woman I don’t know,” even though she has presented ample evidence about their six-year romantic relationship.
With just a week until the general election, Incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is facing a tough reelection fight from Walker. To date, the Georgia race is one of the tightest Senate elections in the nation, where Black turnout could be most critical if Democrats are to maintain control of the Senate.
