Herschel Walker, the ex-American football star turned Georgia Republican senate candidate, has declared his support for a complete ban on abortion without exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, or exceptions for when such a procedure might be necessary to save a woman’s life.
Mr Walker, who will most likely win Tuesday’s Georgia Republican senate primary and will be the Republican Party’s pick to take on Senator Raphael Warnock in the November general election, told reporters last week there was “no exception” in his mind that he would support if voting on such a ban, which would force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term.
