Since revelations surfaced that the former football star and self-described “pro-life” Republican had allegedly paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion in 2009, evangelical Christian leaders in Georgia have banded together to support Walker, as has the Republican Party in general. Walker has staked out a hard-line, “no exceptions” position on abortion.

Reed said Walker reportedly paying for an abortion was “unlikely to resonate with voters in Georgia.” https://t.co/y9HaIyQzkq
