As Federal Court Upholds Georgia’s Abortion Ban, Herschel Walker Supports a Nationwide Abortion Ban With No Exceptions — Even In Cases of Rape, Incest, or To Save the Mother’s Life

As the 11th Circuit federal appeals court rules that Georgia’s restrictive abortion law should be allowed to take effect, Herschel Walker wants to make abortion illegal, even in cases of rape, incest, or even to save the life of the mother — saying, there’s “no exception in [his] mind.”

WSB-TV:  “There is no exception in my mind because I believe in life. So knowing that, no exceptions”

Reporter: It is becoming a top issue in the race for the U.S. Senate. In May, GOP candidate Herschel Walker said he is pro life and doesn’t think there should be any exceptions.

Herschel Walker: “There is no exception in my mind because I believe in life. So knowing that, no exceptions, you know, I believe in life.”

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Walker “supported outlawing abortion, including in instances of rape and incest, saying he’d back ‘legislation which protects the sanctity of human life, even if the legislation is not perfect.’” 

• And all five of the contenders on the debate stage said unequivocally that they would support a national law that promoted a “total” abortion ban.

• Walker, too, has taken a similar stance. He filled out a survey from the Georgia Life Alliance that supported outlawing abortion, including in instances of rape and incest, saying he’d back “legislation which protects the sanctity of human life, even if the legislation is not perfect.”

WSAV (Savannah): “[Walker] said he wants to ban all abortions – even in cases of rape, incest, or where the mother’s life is in danger. No exceptions.”

The Hill: Herschel Walker says he wants total ban on abortion: ‘There’s no exception in my mind’

• Herschel Walker wants to make abortion illegal without any exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. ‘There’s no exception in my mind’ and he “will not apologize for that.”
  
• Walker doubled down on his support for banning all abortions without exceptions for rape or incest or to save the life of the mother after the Supreme Court’s draft opinion was leaked, promising to “protect the unborn with my life … because I believe from the womb to the tomb.”

• Trump-tapped candidate Walker admitted in a Georgia Life Alliance survey early on in the race that he supports “outlawing abortion, including in instances of rape and incest,” even if necessary to save the life of the mother.
  
• Walker was endorsed by Susan B. Anthony List, a major anti-choice group that has worked to undermine reproductive rights. This endorsement comes after Walker was endorsed by National Right to Life, another organization that fights for bans and restrictions on the decisions women make about their own health care.
