[null and void]

But I also believe that Mary Cheney's decision to conceive with her partner while her father is still in the spotlight in some ways does more to promote gay parenting than mere activism, but making it seem normal.

She's 37. Trust me on this one, if she waits much longer she'll be too worn out to keep up with a kid.

My future daughter was born when we were 38, my son when we were 40. We're really too tired to keep up with teenagers!

Whilst politically for her father the timing may not be great I agree to wait any longer would not be advisable if she wants children.

This is her choice and even if I do not agree with it she has the right to make that choice and at the end of the day I am sure that despite the flack the VP will take he will love this child as much as the other 5 and probably even more so as the first child from what is received wisdom his favourite daughter, or the daughter that shares his outdoor pursuits.
