Four Months After Dobbs Decision, Herschel Walker and Lindsay Graham Stand Together Again to Support Nationwide Abortion Ban
Walker: “There’s Not A National Ban On Abortion Right Now And I Think That’s A Problem”
Atlanta, GA – Today, Herschel Walker is campaigning with Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who proposed a nationwide abortion ban that Walker supports. Walker opposes exceptions in cases of rape, incest or even to save the life of the mother, saying, there’s “no exception in [his] mind.” Walker has also said he would vote for the nationwide abortion ban introduced by Graham last month — saying “I WOULD support this policy.”
11 Alive: This week’s court decision legalizing the heartbeat bill brings into focus the contrasting positions of the two major candidates running for U.S. Senate.
Doug Richards: When we caught up with Walker Wednesday morning at a livestock barn in Athens, it was just a few hours before a federal court allowed Georgia to enact its controversial heartbeat bill, which bans abortions after only six weeks gestation. Walker was asked about the U.S. Senate potentially voting on a national ban on abortion. And he answered by saying the absence of such a ban is “a problem.”
Herschel Walker: There’s not a national ban on abortion right now, and I think that’s a problem.
