Woman says she had to press Herschel Walker to pay for abortion he wanted
Source: Washington Post
The mother of one of Herschel Walkers children had to repeatedly press the former football star who is now the Republican Senate nominee in Georgia for funds to pay for a 2009 abortion that she said he wanted her to have, according to the woman and a person she confided in at the time.
When I talked to him, I said, 'You need to send I cant afford to pay for this, the woman said in one of several interviews with The Washington Post in recent days, adding that she also told him: We did this, too. Both of us did this. We both know how babies are made.
The woman, who lived in the Atlanta area at the time, said she became pregnant when she was unemployed and had less than $600 in her bank account. Walker sent a $700 check via FedEx about a week after the procedure, the woman said. The Post reviewed an image of the check that was printed on an ATM slip, with Walkers name, signature and an address associated with him at the time.
It was deposited nine days after the woman said she had an abortion. The Post has reviewed a receipt for $575 at a womens medical center that day. She said she did not know exactly how much an abortion would cost and estimated the amount she told Walker she would need based on online searches.
