Herschel Walker denies paying for abortion, but says it's "nothing to be ashamed of" had that happened

GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker continues to deny that he knows the unnamed woman who claimed in a report by The Daily Beast that he paid for her abortion and now, also says she is the mother of one of Walker's several children. Hewitt: Is there anything you need to be forgiven for vis-à-vis a woman whose name we do not know? Do you know who this woman is? And do you need to be forgiven?
But in a Thursday morning interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Walker said that if he had done that, he would have said so "because it's nothing to be ashamed of there" and "people have done that." On the campaign trail, Walker has voiced his opposition to abortion, with "no exception," and supports a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks. Walker: No. Well, that's what's so funny. And I'm saying I've been forgiven because of all of the things I did when I went to my, the thing with my ex-wife and all that, and things I did I don't know how many years ago that I wrote in my book. I forgot. I wasn't perfect. I had my problem with mental health. And I was, I've been, I hate to say I've been born again, but I have a new life. And I've been moving forward, and had that happened, I would have said it, because it's nothing to be ashamed of there. You know, people have done that, but I know nothing about it. And if I knew about it, I would be honest and talk about it, but I know nothing about that.
Then, in a news conference Thursday, in Wadley, Georgia, Walker denied that his comment that "it's nothing to be ashamed of" was related to whether he had paid for the woman's abortion.
