doesn’t generally say much about public policy. That’s not ideal — the Georgia Republican is, after all, running for the U.S. Senate — but it’s also not too surprising: Walker has effectively no background in governing, and he hasn’t shown any meaningful interest in policymaking.
The former football player has, however, taken a firm position on one important issue: Walker has said he supports an abortion ban,It’s also relevant anew given allegations from the GOP candidate’s personal life. The Daily BeastA woman who asked not to be identified out of privacy concerns told The Daily Beast that after she and Walker conceived a child while they were dating in 2009 he urged her to get an abortion. The woman said she had the procedure and that Walker reimbursed her for it.
The woman in question, who has not been identified, told the Daily Beast that Walker said at the time that it was “not the right time” for him to have another child, soon after having an out-of-wedlock child with a different woman earlier that same year. She added that Walker never expressed any regret, and she came forward in light of the Republican taking a far-right stance on reproductive rights.
