ATLANTA — A woman who accused Republican Senate hopeful Herschel Walker of pressuring her to have an abortion nearly three decades ago showed her face for the first time in an interview with "Good Morning America" and said she felt “threatened” by the football star after she revealed to him she was pregnant.
In the interview, broadcast Tuesday, the woman expounded on the allegations she first leveled anonymously a week ago — that she had a yearslong romantic relationship with Walker but when she became pregnant in 1993 he urged her to have an abortion and drove her back to a Texas clinic to complete the procedure after she changed her mind. Walker is a staunch opponent of abortion rights. This time, the woman appeared on camera but still did not reveal her name.
Walker on Tuesday said the claim was “a lie a week ago and it is a lie today."
