ATLANTA — A woman who has said Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate nominee in Georgia, paid for her abortion in 2009 told The New York Times that he urged her to terminate a second pregnancy two years later. They ended their relationship after she refused.
In a series of interviews, the woman said Mr. Walker had barely been involved in their now 10-year-old son’s life, offering little more than court-ordered child support and occasional gifts.
The woman disclosed the new details about her relationship with Mr. Walker, who has anchored his campaign on an appeal to social conservatives as an unwavering opponent of abortion even in cases of rape and incest, after the former football star publicly denied that he knew her. He called her “some alleged woman” in a radio interview on Thursday.
The Times is withholding the name of the woman, who insisted on anonymity to protect her son.
In the interviews, she described the frustration of watching Republicans rally around Mr. Walker dismiss her account and bathe him in prayer and praise, calling him a good man.
She said she wanted Georgia voters to know what kind of man Mr. Walker was to her.
“As a father, he’s done nothing. He does exactly what the courts say, and that’s it,” she said. “He has to be held responsible, just like the rest of us. And if you’re going to run for office, you need to own your life.”
The interviews and documents provided to The Times together corroborate and expand upon an account about her abortion first published on Monday in The Daily Beast. The Times also independently confirmed details with custody records filed in family court in New York and interviewed a friend of the woman to whom she had described the abortion and her eventual breakup with Mr. Walker as those events occurred.
Mr. Walker’s campaign declined to comment about the woman’s account.
The woman reaffirmed the key details of her account: She and Mr. Walker conceived a child in 2009 and decided not to continue the pregnancy. Mr. Walker was not married at the time. She provided to The Times a $575 receipt she was given after paying for the procedure at an Atlanta women’s clinic, and a deposit slip showing a copy of a $700 check that she said Mr. Walker gave her as reimbursement. She also shared a “get well” card with a handwritten message – “Pray you are feeling better” – and signed simply, “H.”
Mr. Walker has repeatedly denied her account, calling it a “flat-out” lie and the work of Democrats and the hostile news media. He has disputed that he signed the card. He told Fox News on Monday that he sends money “to a lot of people.”

REPUBLICAN ABBOTT SAYS "FUCK-OFF" TO MARIJUANA USERS -
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott won't consider pardons for low-level marijuana offenders despite President Biden's call for governors to do so, according to KUT Austin.
Why it matters: President Biden announced last Thursday that he will pardon all previous federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, which would remove a barrier that has blocked some people from employment, housing or educational opportunities.
As always, Abbott is behind the times. He's no leader; he's a joke.

red ass racist republican
It is all about balance ⚖️. Focus on the person, what they have done, and how they carry their lives. Mr. H. Walker has deceived the Republicans if the allegations are correct. Though, they accepted Trump. We know that there have been fuck ups in the Democratic Party as well. I will state this if the Republicans continue to support this so-called man estan bien pero bien pendejos.
Hey Montoya, where are my posts?

I think our post get lost in cyber space. I know I have written some that are clean and they don't show. It happens when I get distracted and take a while to press publish comment.

Juanito has a new member "Tinker Bell".
As a fairy, Tink can fly and produce pixie dust, which allows other humans to fly (including the D.A. in Return to Neverland). She is described as being a tinker, meaning that she mends pots, kettles, and acorn caps, and is shown to be very skilled, gifted, and talented at it too, she/it corrects mis-spells on this blog and if she/it feels that they are not worthy she makes them into pixie dust.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS?
