Asked about Lafferty’s claims Friday, Franks pointed to his Thursday statement. “Absolutely accurate,” he said in a text message.
Franks, who was first elected to the House in 2002, was among the most outspoken social conservatives in Congress. He authored or co-sponsored numerous bills seeking to restrict abortions, including bills that would ban the procedure after 20 weeks of pregnancy. He also belonged to the House Freedom Caucus, a hard-line group that has often clashed with GOP leaders.
Lafferty said she was struck by what she called the hypocrisy of Franks’s conduct: “Offering someone five million bucks is not a discussion of surrogacy,”

Franks, 60, said in his statement that he and his wife have long struggled with infertility. After having twins with a surrogate, the couple sought additional children, he said.
In an undated testimonial posted on the website of a California urology and fertility clinic, Franks said he and his wife had “struggled to have children for over 20 years” before having his twins with the clinic’s help. A spokesman for Franks confirmed the letter’s authenticity.
“We made three efforts to adopt babies from mothers in crisis pregnancy who had chosen to give their child life rather than to abort,”

On Thursday, Franks said in his statement that after his twins were born, he and his wife “continued to have a desire to have at least one additional sibling, for which our children had made repeated requests” — leading to the surrogacy discussions with his employees.
