Raphael Warnock (D), Incumbent
Warnock, who was elected to the Senate in 2021, has demonstrated an uncompromising belief in the right to safe, affordable reproductive health care — including abortion — time after time.
I’ll never back down from this fight because women should be able to make their own health care decisions.
Raphael Warnock, 6/24/2022
-
Rev. Warnock has been a vocal supporter of abortion rights for years — and worked as a sexual health educator before joining the clergy. Dr. Ginger Davis Floyd, a former state public health official, has said:“From first-hand experience, I know he is a tremendous advocate for women's health, contraceptive access, and the pro-choice movement.”
-
In the Senate, Warnock co-sponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act, a federal law that would protect the right to abortion.
-
Warnock is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta — the church once led by Martin Luther King, Jr. Warnock says, “I am a pro-choice pastor,” and calls access to abortion “a critical part of inclusive health care.”
Herschel Walker (R), Challenger
Walker favors a national abortion ban — without exceptions.
There’s no exception in my mind. Like I say, I believe in life. I believe in life.
Herschel Walker, 5/18/2022
-
Responding to a survey by an anti-abortion group, Walker wrote that he would vote for any anti-abortion legislation (*.pdf), “even if the legislation is not perfect.” Walker supports no exceptions, including in cases of rape or incest or to protect the life of the pregnant person.
-
Walker supports mandatory ultrasounds (*.pdf) — a medically unnecessary and sometimes invasive procedure — for abortion patients..
-
Endorsed by major national anti-abortion groups that promote restrictions on access to abortion and birth control, Walker has accepted money to speak on behalf of “crisis pregnancy centers” — facilities that often have no on-staff medical providers and exist solely to promote misinformation and propaganda to deter patients from accessing abortion.
