Raphael Warnock urged Georgia college students to vote for him at a campaign rally Sunday by promising to be a “champion” for the so-called right to abort unborn babies.
Warnock, a pro-abortion Democrat, is running against pro-life Republican candidate Herschel Walker in a special election Tuesday in Georgia. Neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in November, prompting the runoff.
Fox News reports Warnock, who touts himself as a “pro-choice pastor,” brought up abortion during a campaign event at the University of Georgia. He claimed killing unborn babies in abortions for any reason is a “constitutional protection” that the U.S. Supreme Court took away when it overturned Roe v. Wade in June.
“The women of this state woke up one summer morning and discovered that a constitutional protection that they had known for half a century — Roe v. Wade has been on the books so long that women of reproductive age don’t remember a world without it,” he said. “Neither does their mother, and, in many instances, their grandmother. And in one fell swoop, core constitutional protection taken.”
The politician also promoted himself as a “true champion” for the marginalized. However, he supports killing unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth and wants to force taxpayers to pay for them.

“Georgia needs a true champion, and when it has come to standing up for those who are on the margins of the margins, I’m the SEC champion,” Warnock said. “It would be my honor to champion the concerns of the people of Georgia for the next six years.”
Warnock recently voted for legislation that would force states to allow unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth and force taxpayers to pay for elective abortions. The bill also could jeopardize conscience protections for pro-life medical workers. He has a 100-percent pro-abortion voting record in the U.S. Senate, according to NRLC.
If the federal bill had passed, Georgia would have been stopped from enforcing its heartbeat law, which is saving unborn babies’ lives every day. The pro-life law prohibits unborn babies from being aborted once their heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy.
In contrast, his pro-life Republican challenger, Walker said he is “a proud pro-life Christian” who “will always stand up for our unborn children.”
“You never know what a child is going to become,” Walker said. “And I’ve seen some people, they’ve had some tough times, but I always said, ‘No matter what, tough times make tough people.’”
National pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life and SBA Pro-Life America, endorsed Walker.
