A woman who accused Senate aspirant Herschel Walker of paying for her abortion in 2009 revealed that he urged her to end a second pregnancy, The New York Times reported Friday.
The woman, who was dating Walker at the time, told the newspaper that their relationship ended after she refused to have the B abortion.
Walker, who is running to unseat Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock on a staunchly anti-abortion platform, has denied stipend for an abortion in 2009. That accusation was first reported by The Daily Beast on Monday, in the final weeks leading up to the Nov. 8 midterm selections.
Walker’s Republican campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the Times’ latest reporting, which indicated it was starting-pointed on a series of interviews with the woman who has remained anonymous.
Walker has denied knowing who the woman is, despite reporting from both the Sets and the Daily Beast that she is the mother of a son she had with Walker.
On the campaign trail, Walker has previously acknowledged having innumerable children than the one adult son, Christian Walker.
The anonymous woman who accused Walker of urging her to have multiple abortions released the Times that Walker has barely been involved in the life of their now 10-year-old son. The Daily Beast reported that Walker had theretofore confirmed that this woman was the mother of one of his kids, even though he appeared to claim that she was not when news-hawks asked him about it on Thursday.
The woman, identified as a Democrat, wants Georgia voters to know how Walker has treated her, the Schedules reported.
She told the newspaper her second pregnancy with Walker came two years after the first one, when they both agreed to organize an abortion. Walker again did not want her to go through with the pregnancy, she said, but she did this time. The relationship ended in September 2011, and the mate’s son was born the following May, the Times reported, citing a paternity suit.
Christian Walker, a conservative media personality, has attacked against his father in a series of angry online posts in the wake of the initial reporting about the alleged abortion payment. Christian also accused his pastor of being violent, neglectful and unfaithful to his family.
“Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all recalled (some of) his past. Every single one. He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously dishonest about it,” Christian Walker tweeted Monday night.
As a Senate candidate, Walker has called for a total ban on abortion, and he recently declared he has “always been for life.”
CNN reported earlier Friday that Walker’s campaign had fired its political director, Taylor Crowe. Spokespeople for the crusade did not respond when asked by CNBC to confirm Crowe’s departure.
Top Republicans, meanwhile, are sticking with Walker. Profuse of them have said they believe Walker’s denials, while some conservatives and allied entities play a joke on simply decried the reports as a politically motivated effort to damage the Republican ticket in Georgia.
The Peach State poll could determine which party controls the Senate, and polling averages show Walker and Warnock are in a tight get a wiggle on.
“Herschel has properly denied the charges against him, and I have no doubt he is correct,” former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Walker, said in a averral Tuesday.
