The article is pure homosexual spin.
Mary Cheny is about to be a single mother with the child's father unknown.
Her homosexual sex partner is just that, a partner for recreational sex.
This child is going to be screwed up.
I also think this is being done as a jamming to keep Dick Chenny from running for the presidency. It makes him difficult to elect with this Mary Cheny liability.
There should be laws requiring only married NORMAL couples have access to artificial fertilizaiton clinics. There is a significant societal interest which could and should easily prevail in the courts. (ala the 11th DCA opinion on the fact it is legal to keep homosexuals from adopting children)
The other question is whether Mary Chenny's state allows her sex partner to adopt the child. 27 states don't allow or restrict secont parent (homosexual sex partner) adoptions.
This child may be "heather has two momies" in DBM spin alone.
"I also think this is being done as a jamming to keep Dick Chenny from running for the presidency."
He has said numerous times he's not interested, so I think your comment is spurious. However, you keep referring to "Chenny" and "Cheny" interchangeably, neither of which is actually the Vice President's name, so is that who you mean?
"There should be laws requiring only married NORMAL couples have access to artificial fertilizaiton clinics. There is a significant societal interest which could and should easily prevail in the courts."
No one has ever suggested such legislation. No one has ever questioned the legality of IVF, for that matter. No legislator is going to be the first to stand up and propose laws that prohibit women from trying to become mothers.
Define,"NORMAL". How far back in ones history do the "deciders" of "NORMAL" go back? Two years...20 years....6 months? Is it ever up for review? Do we continue to test for the "normalcy" of the parents throughout the raising of the child, and then take the child away from the parents if they no longer meet the definition, whatever that definition may be?
"Mary Cheney is about to be a single mother with the child's father unknown."
If it's not okay with conservatives for "Murphy Brown" to go down this road, why is it okay with some conservatives for Mary Cheney to do essentially the same thing?
For 14 years???
That's what he has a bad ticker for.
(Evil grin) BTW, does anyone know if Hillary!™ has Alzheimer's? She certainly had a great deal of trouble recalling anything when she's on the witness stand. A montage of her answers overlayed with the question: "Does she have Alzheimer's?" would make a great political ad for some 526(c) to run...
