They literally have the receipt and a check signed by Walker. Walker threatened to sue, but as Trump does when he knows the facts aren't on his side, he has since backed off that threat.
Here are Walker's most recent public statements on abortion found after 30sec of googling:
"There's not a national ban on abortion right now and I think that's a problem". And then, "there's no [rape or incest or health] exceptions, in my mind", which he confirmed when asked about exceptions by saying "I believe in life".
Even if the abortion thing isn't true (contrary to the evidence provided so far), Walker is a serial adulterer who clearly has very little understanding of any issue that matters (noticing a pattern?), so of course that's the guy y'all throw your support behind.
It should be a big deal and is damning to Walker…but when you so called virtuous democrats let all your politicians and Presidents slide through outrageous scandals with the full support of the media downplaying it, the other side isn't going to really care that much.
You leftists are bringing down society and normalizing idiocracy.
Anyone who supports the traitorous reality TV clown should have enough sense to sit down and shut the fck up about "normalizing idiocracy". You did that, not anyone else, and no one forced you to do it either. Here you are arguing in favor of a deeply unethical man who's only qualification is being a famous football star for Christ's sake, and it's amazing that somehow you still have the gall to accuse others of being the ones to normalize an idiocracy.
Trumpism is fracturing our society, to the point where constant obvious lies and even outright sedition is just hand-waved away, because the quest for power (and the ability to impose your extremist minority views on the majority) Trumps all else.
Dude, your party elected Ted Kennedy SIX times after he killed someone. SIX.
Go sit in the corner and think about that before getting back on your high horse.
Your party elected serial adulterer Newt Gingrich, who divorced one wife while she was in hospital underoing cancer treatment and expected another to tolerate his side gig with Calista, who was Newt's mistress AND a devout Catholic (wanna bet what she didn't talk about in the confession booth)?
There's plenty of moral whataboutism to go around. Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for a sordid affair.
I don't know which is more disgusting: Trump Republcians supported an unqualified dumbass like Herschell Walker for a Senate seat or their ignoring or even defending his history of fathering children out of wedlock and domestic abuse. The party of family values, Republicans ain't.
Sigh.
clinton was not impeached for the affair. It was for the lying under oath about it.
And funny you would bring that up in the same post you call a Republican an adulterer....
Oh and what are your thoughts about this?
So you mean basically the opposite of the people who support abortions and bring up the small percentage (extremely small percentage) of abortions that happen due to rape or incest while ignoring most states leave exemptions in their laws for those cases??????
The whole purpose of the impeachment proceedings was to embarrass Clinton.
The the politicians who acted so self-righteous and furious about Clinton's lie about a sordid encounter, flatly refused to acknowledge Trump's lies. Barr actively buried the Mueller report. Then Republicans wouldn't impeach Trump when he clearly incited an insurrection than endangered them and their colleagues.
I was disgusted by Clinton's affair and disgusted by Ken Starr's salacious prosecution of it. Brett Kavanaugh wrote a list of those questions. Clinton should have kept his pants zipped. I didn't think he was a great president. Ending Glass Steagall was just one of the bad things he did.
There is no comparison between what Clinton did and the unbridled corruption,disrespect for his office, stealing of state secrets, use of federal staff for personal purposes, nepotism, infantile temper tantrums, tweet rants, firing by tweet and the other unpresidential behaviors of Trump that endangered national security and turned us from a respected first-world leader into a laughing stock as Trump praised the likes of Kim Jung Un and Putin. There is no adequate excuse for supporting Trump. None.
On the rape-related pregnancy front, here's CDC report that indicates rape-related pregnancy is often a product of domestic violence:
Rape and Rape-Related Pregnancy: By the Numbers
- Almost 3 million women in the U.S. experienced RRP during their lifetime.
- The prevalence of RRP was similar across racial and ethnic groups (i.e., Hispanic, White non-Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, and other non-Hispanic).
- About 18 million women have experienced vaginal rape in their lifetime. Women who were raped by a current or former intimate partner were more likely to report RRP (26%) compared to those raped by an acquaintance (5.2%) or a stranger (6.9%).
- Of women who were raped by an intimate partner, 30% experienced a form of reproductive coercion by the same partner. Specifically, about 20% reported that their partner had tried to get them pregnant when they did not want to or tried to stop them from using birth control. About 23% reported their partner refused to use a condom.
- Women raped by an intimate partner who reported RRP were significantly more likely to have experienced reproductive coercion compared to women who were raped by an intimate partner but did not become pregnant.
These data come from the first study in over 20 years to offer a nationally representative prevalence estimate of RRP of U.S. women by any perpetrator and the first ever to provide these estimates by race and ethnicity. The findings add to the understanding of the relationship between SV and intimate partner violence (IPV) and reproductive health among U.S. women..
