Crossing the Pennsylvania border and heading south is another key senate race: incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker fighting for a seat in Georgia.

Stumbling wildly into the limelight is the topic of abortion. Since the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the midterms of more conservative states hinge on reproductive rights issues. Georgia is no different: Warnock has run twice in favor of reproductive healthcare rights, and Walker has made his anti-abortion stance very clear.

However, there’s a curtain that’s been drawn back recently as the campaign comes to a close. Walker, an anti-abortion champion, allegedly wrote his secret girlfriend a check for $700 to get an abortion of her own.

Walker admits he signed the check, but argues that he didn’t know what it was for. His ex-girlfriend, who has chosen to remain anonymous for fear of harassment, argues the opposite. The evidence, including a “get well” card signed by the Republican candidate, does not help his case. Maybe if Walker was a sole instance of hushed procedures, I could give him more benefit of the doubt, but the evidence against him is damning, and America has seen this before.

Regardless of each American’s viewpoint on reproductive healthcare, the prevalence of “under-the-radar abortions” should be a glaring issue: in fact, anti-choice (“pro-life”) individuals should be more concerned.

Socially conservative political activists arguing for pro-life policy while defending the same individuals who have utilized the limited reproductive healthcare available are hypocrites, cut-and-dry. Most women don’t have access to the same funds and connections as high-ranking government officials or celebrities, and it spits in the face of impoverished women (or those more impoverished than Herschel Walker) who are forced to give birth to and raise children they cannot afford.

Limiting access to abortion or making the procedures more expensive will never eliminate abortion entirely; America saw that proven pre-Roe. What Republican midterm candidates all over the country hope to do after November’s election is make abortion illegal, either federally or state-by-state.

Pull back the curtain, voters: what limiting abortion will do is let economically privileged people game the system. It will push many impoverished women into a horrific either-or solution: raise a child without the funds or resources to do so, or put them into the overcrowded and underfunded foster care system.
