REMINDER: Herschel Walker Supports Nationwide Abortion Ban, Opposes Exceptions for Rape, Incest, or to Save the Mother’s Life
Walker: “There’s Not A National Ban On Abortion Right Now And I Think That’s A Problem”
Savannah, GA — Herschel Walker supports a nationwide abortion ban. Walker doesn’t support exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or even to save the life of the mother — saying, there’s “no exception in [his] mind.” In the Senate, Herschel Walker would work to make abortion illegal nationwide.
Meanwhile, Reverend Warnock is fighting to protect and restore a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions with her doctor — not politicians.
Georgians will have a clear choice this November between Reverend Warnock’s record of standing up for women in Georgia and Herschel Walker’s support for a national abortion ban and making abortion illegal with no exceptions for rape, incest or to save the mother’s life
11 Alive Anchor: 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.
