A high-profile Republican candidate for the US Senate, standing on a strongly anti-abortion platform, faces claims from a second woman that he paid for her to have a termination. The former American football star, Herschel Walker, hopes to unseat the Democratic incumbent in Georgia in the mid-term elections next month. The latest accuser called him “a hypocrite” unfit to be a US senator. The ex-NFL star has denied both claims, calling the latest one “foolishness”. Mr Walker, who has the backing of former US President Donald Trump, is running neck and neck with Democrat Raphael Warnock in November’s mid-term race. The second woman spoke anonymously to reporters over Zoom, saying Mr Walker pressured her into ending her pregnancy. Neither woman has revealed her identity publicly. The woman, who is being named by her lawyer only as “Jane Doe”, told reporters on Wednesday that she had a years-long relationship with Mr Walker while he was married and that he had driven her to a clinic.(BBC)…[+]
