Congressman Trent Franks [R-AZ] resigns amidst accusations that he pressured his female staff to bear his children as surrogate mothers

Is it necessary to have a derailing conversation that is off topic?

Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Irony: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

You would expect that someone who claims high morals would act in such a manner…when they do not they are by definition a hypocrite and the situation is by definition ironic.

I am not engaging in this further (I do see you added the genuinely interested) on the thread. If you want to discuss more, feel free to DM me. Its off topic and too easily troll bait.

Simple answer is this guy’s actions are not hypocritical for wanting surrogacy and is anti-abortion. Those are not related to one another.
