Okay, I have combined to items posted on Drudge Report:
Juliet Linderman, "The Latest: Ex-aide: Franks offered $5m to carry his child", AP News, and
Looks like Representative Trent Franks' "discussion" was more than a little unusual.

Hahahaha.
I would too. I know, we established what We are and are just negotiating price.
I, am a world class man whore...
Yeah, I figured he wanted to make her a surrogate mother for his kids the “natural way”
Very thoughtful and profound.
Thank you.
It doesn't, because it doesn't involve sexual intercourse. In vitro fertilization means the fertilization "occurs the glass", not in the uterus.
I am amazed how many people do not understand this. I'm sure the left will try to capitalize on this ignorance.
If you don’t mind, a small clarification here:
IVF isn’t immoral because it’s against Catholic ethics. It’s against Catholic ethics because it’s immoral.
Meaning, morally objectionable for humans. Actually, it’s veterinary medicine. No problem if you do it to animals.
Thanks for the clarification.
Drudge is doing fake news now?
If he has that much money he could obviously afford the adoption process if he was that desperate to have another child.
Nuts.
Probably so.
Maybe their marriage is in trouble, and this (raising another child) is one thing they haven’t tried yet.
That idea makes exactly as much sense as the rest of this, which is zero.
OK, I’m going to call “Shenanigans” on Heavy.com’s and Huffington Post’s accusations of hypocrisy concerning Trent Franks’s anti-abortion stance.
In his resignation statement, Franks said, regarding the surrogacy that resulted in the birth of his twin children, “The process by which they were conceived was a pro-life approach that did not discard or throw away any embryos.” In 2013, HuffPo quoted Franks as having said “a trusted friend told us of a medical organization that would allow us to pursue a surrogacy effort where a limited number of eggs would be fertilized and no embryos would be discarded.”
Both of those statements are COMPLETELY CONSISTENT with a use of IVF in which the only eggs that were fertilized were implanted. HuffPo is making a semantics point, on which Heavy piggybacks, that an “embryo” technically is a pre-born human (not that the pro-abortionists at HuffPo and Heavy ever would admit to the human-being characterization) at a later stage of development than the result of recently fertilized egg (technically known as a “blastocyst”) and thus claiming that Franks must have discarded several blastocysts because he used the word “embryo” when he affirmed that he didn’t discard any pre-born human beings. It is wishful thinking on the part of the abortionists at HuffPo and Heavy that Congressman Franks favors the destruction of pre-born human life in the pursuit of children through IVF.
If Franks really offered to pay his staffers to have sex with him, whether in pursuit of children or otherwise, then certainly he should resign. But if he merely offered to pay them for surrogacy through IVF, not only is it not sexual harassment, it’s not even a case of employment discrimination *unless* it was coupled with retaliation on the part of Franks for the wonen’s refusal. We need to know more facts before we condemn Trent Franks of anything.
And one thing that is clear is that we should never, ever trust liberal online rags like HuffPo and Heavy to interpret issues involving the protection of pre-born human life.
If I were a woman, I’d do it for $5M.
Beat me to it.
I’m calling BS on this. Franks has twins now, from artificial insemination. That’s is exactly how he wanted it done. He was wrong for for even talking to these liberal women, Ryan has wanted to get rid of him for years and I think Franks was set up. Franks is a devout Christian. He’s been a pain in Ryan’s side for years. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Ryan and McConnell need to go, not conservatves like Franks.
What makes you think they were liberal women? That fact that they complained? The fact they refused to have sex (and have a kid for him)? The fact they turned down sex fo $5 million? Do you suggest he had hired liberal women for his congressional staff?
$5 million.
I’ve seen desperation before, but this is ridiculous.
Dude is hard-up.
If I may address the resigning Congressman:
Take a month or so off for yourself, go somewhere nice and relaxing, say...Thailand, Amsterdam, Brazil, just anywhere you can get that Horn-Monkey off your back.
