Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) revealed on Thursday that he is resigning because he asked female staffers to serve as a surrogate for his child.

The House Ethics Committee announced that it is opening an investigation into his actions.

"Due to my familiarity and experience with the process of surrogacy, I clearly became insensitive as to how the discussion of such an intensely personal topic might affect others," Franks said in a statement.
