Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee for Senate in Georgia, claimed he confirmed for the first time the identity of the woman who has claimed he paid for her abortion 13 years ago when she leveled the allegation in a text message to his wife.
. In a statement to The Daily Beast in response to the report about the additional children, Walker said, “I have four children. Three sons and a daughter. They’re not ‘undisclosed’— they’re my kids.”
In the Friday text message exchanges between the two, the woman explained that she did not know about another of Walker's children, saying that boy “was a surprise to us all” in the rest of the family. The woman showed to The New York Times and The Daily Beast a copy of a $575 receipt from an Atlanta abortion clinic that she said was given to her after her 2009 procedure, and she showed the outlets a copy of a $700 check that she said was a reimbursement check from Walker. In addition, she provided the outlets a copy of a “get well” card bearing a handwritten message signed “H” along with the message: “Pray you are feeling better.
The New York Times also interviewed a friend of the woman who said she took care of her after her 2009 abortion and then supported her through her pregnancy two years later.,Walker’s profession of strict anti-abortion views were too much for the mother involved in the text exchange to bear, she told The New York Times, saying that she’s a Democrat and “the fact that I had a choice — now he’s in the public trying to say he wants to put a ban on abortion completely…. It appalled me.
