This week brought news of physical proof that GOP Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for an abortion. Like others of his political ilk, Walker supports strict bans on the practice and punishment for those who engage in it. The news was intriguing, but not surprising. I am sure there are plenty of other conservative politicians out there who have done the same. What would surprise me is this revelation causing significant damage to Walker’s election chances.
I completely agree with your analysis, but I do hope that the political party I support does not have to become as immoral as Republicans in order to have success in electoral politics. I think there are a number of people in the middle who will not subscribe to this "us vs. them" absurdity and vote to punish the political war-mongers. I think this mid-term election will show if my hope is justified. The key will be watching the ballot-counters.
