The second woman who alleged that Herschel Walker (R) paid for her abortion told ABC News that he pressured her and that she felt threatened.
Said the woman: “He was very clear that he did not want me to have the child. He said that because of his wife’s family and powerful people around him, that I would not be safe and that the child would not be safe.”
She added: “It is very menacing. I felt threatened and I thought I had no choice.”
