Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) Expected To Resign From Congress

[Lakhota]

Franks is a social conservative known for co-sponsoring anti-abortion legislation.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is expected to resign from Congress, Roll Call and Politico reported Thursday.

Franks told Roll Call he would make an announcement later Thursday, but did not elaborate on what it would entail.

“The statement will explain,” he said.

Franks huddled with colleagues on the House floor late Thursday afternoon. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) had his arm wrapped around Franks, appearing to be consoling him.

According to Roll Call, rumors of inappropriate behavior circulated before Franks’ announcement.

The eight-term congressman is a social conservative and one of the most aggressive anti-abortion legislators in Congress. He has led the charge, year after year, to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy nationwide and to limit abortion in the District of Columbia. Residents of D.C. protested his efforts in 2012 by lining up outside the Arizona congressman’s office with plastic rats and photos of pot holes, suggesting that he try to fix more pressing problems in the city than women having abortions.


Franks also caused an uproar in 2013 when he claimed during an abortion debate that the “incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low,” defending his bill’s lack of an exception for rape and incest victims.

The congressman is notorious for comparing abortion to slavery and the Holocaust.

I hope it isn't illness, his or his family's.

Same as weird Al’s. He would not survive reelection so he can run off and hide back under the rock pile polititions come from. Keep it coming, the swamp is self draining.

I suspect it may be illness - mental illness.

I hear liberals are going to have a bunch of abortions to celebrate

Sorry, but anyone willing to force a woman to carry a rape baby, or forces her to die in childbirth for no damn reason, deserves a miserable death.

 

[conserveguy877]

Here come the sick apologists for abortions like the OP celebrating cutting off fetuses. Sad!

 

[Peach]

AZCentral cites "inappropriate behavior", he does have some thought processes not up to par. He believes women get pregnant at will, and those sexually battered rarely do.

 

[g5000]

If Franks is resigning due to sexual misconduct, I doubt he will provide specifics in his press statement.

"I raped the Navy mascot goat in a drunken blackout."

I know women who believe if both are meant to die it is God's will; that is far different from stating as he has women sexually battered can "shut down" reproduction.

And if a woman wants to go willingly to her death, shiiit, I'm not gonna stop her. But she shouldn't be forced to by any damn law.

The Arizona governor will have to replace Franks.

He might have to replace McCain at some point, too.

Joe Arpaio is probably walking around with priapism right now.

Franks is a Rep., not a senator.

Gov. can't appoint. Needs to be a special election.
