As Herschel Walker's Abortion Lies Pile Up, Gloria Allred Has Entered the Chat

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A second woman has now accused anti-abortion Georgia Senate nominee Hershel Walker of paying for an abortion when they dated. And the saga now involves mega attorney Gloria Allred, though it’s unclear exactly why the woman revealed her allegation a press conference rather than through a media outlet.

On Wednesday, Allred said during a news conference that her client, Jane Doe, was in a years-long affair with Walker beginning in 1987 and he pressured her to get an abortion, going so far as to wait outside the clinic until the procedure was over. Doe, who attended virtually and spoke with her camera off, said that when she got pregnant in April 1993, it was clear Walker didn’t want to continue the pregnancy. (The other alleged abortion in 2009 was not coerced, as the woman didn’t want to have the baby either. Though that woman said Walker pressured her to have a second abortion and she declined.)

Doe said Walker gave her the money for the procedure and she went to an abortion clinic in Dallas, Texas, but couldn’t go through with it and left in tears. This upset Walker, and he “drove me to the clinic the following day and waited for hours in the parking lot until I came out,” she said. “I was devastated because I felt like I was pressured into having the abortion.”

Doe said she is a registered Independent who voted for former President Donald Trump twice and isn’t speaking out for partisan reasons but rather to highlight his character flaws. “I do not believe that Herschel is morally fit to be a US senator and that is the reason why I am speaking up and providing proof,” she said. “He has publicly taken the position that he is ‘about life’ and against abortion under any circumstances,” she said, “when in fact he pressured me to have an abortion and personally ensured that it occurred by driving me to the clinic and paying for it.”

1. One thing that caught my notice

When the story broke about this second woman and her experience with the Delightful Mr. H, reporters immediately noted that she didn't have documentary proof of the events from 30 years ago. My first thought was that the first woman clearly did have documentary mementos of her story, including a personal check from Mr. H. The media didn't seem too interested in that, so why would anyone care if the second woman did or didn't have those documents? Both women are getting the usual treatment from Mr. H's partisans, proof or no proof.
