Mary Cheney pregnant with second child
True Slant ^ | 10/06/2009 | Kate Klonick

Posted on 10/06/2009 6:17:42 PM PDT by DesertRenegade

Mary Cheney, the former vice president’s daughter, and her long-time partner, Heather Poe, are expecting their second child, a source close to the family told True/Slant. [Ed. Note: Since publishing this piece, Cheney has confirmed that she and Poe are expecting their second child in mid- to late November.]

Cheney has worked as a principal at Navigators Global, a bi-partisan communications firm, but recently announced that she would be leaving the company for maternity leave and to begin a new consulting firm with her sister, Liz. Close friends were informed that she was expecting a second child about four months ago and she is now visibly showing her pregnancy, the source says.

Cheney, a lesbian, attracted much attention from the conservative movement when she announced she was pregnant with her first child in late 2006. Social conservative pundit and founder of Focus on the Family, James Dobson, penned a controversial op-ed for Time magazine called “Two Mommies Is One Too Many,” opining Cheney’s decision to start a family:

"With all due respect to Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, the majority of more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when raised by their married mother and father. That is not to say Cheney and Poe will not love their child. But love alone is not enough to guarantee healthy growth and development. The two most loving women in the world cannot provide a daddy for a little boy–any more than the two most loving men can be complete role models for a little girl."

The Lawrence decision was an enormous mistake.

There is no comparison. Any more questions?

“Is it any ones business to know ‘who the father of this child’ is?”

Yes, the children have every right to know who their father is.

“she is very capable and financially able to support children”

No amount of money makes up for a child who has been intentionally denied a father for life. My wife works with children and I can’t tell you how damaging it is for them not to have a father. Such things can’t just be smoothed over with cash. That is one of the tragedies of our anything goes society. I really urge you to seek out some fatherless kids and you will find out that they don’t take it so lightly.

“Is this worse then Laura Ingraham adopting a baby to be raised by a single woman with a full time, day job, not to mention regular night time interviews?”

Yes.

How? Because Laura isn't gay? Because her politics and lifestyle aren't repugnant? Either way the children in question are being deprived of a home with a father.

Nothing against Ms. Cheney. I just think there is something not quite right with denying a child a father.

It was an ultra-constitutional decision by a liberal court with “centrist” Kennedy in the majority.

“Because Laura isn’t gay?”

Yes. She might marry. I doubt the two Lesbian Ladies will.

“Because her politics and lifestyle aren’t repugnant?”

Yes. The child has a chance at a normal childhood and a MUCH better chance of doing well.

I’ll go with “because Laura isn’t a sodomite and her lifestyle isn’t repugnant.” But, then again, there are so many degenerate behaviors that go along with the “lifestyle” that it is hard to choose.

I wonder who is the “father”? A turkey baster?

...and there are many children in this world who don't know who their father is and not raised with a father in the home and they turn out just fine.

I think it's seldom the case that they "turn out just fine".But even if I'm wrong in this assumption...*this* case is even worse.*This* child will be brought up in a breathtakingly depraved environment expected to believe that mommies typically have special friends that never seem to go home.Until,of course,they find *another* special friend....or three.

You’re response is a perfect example of my comment and concern. We have concrete principles that dictate a narrow set of acceptable behaviors. Unless they involve people who share our politics and are popular, then the rules are bent and broken.

You wonder how the left can defend Polanski and Letterman?

Your point presupposes that that the behaviors in question are morally equivalent. You are welcome to your assumption. BTW, politics is about almost nothing except values.

Laura's child was a 3 year old in a third world orphanage. It was unlikely that the child would ever have a father OR a mother in those circumstances.

To condemn that child to further time in an orphanage in the hopes that she might one day have both a mother and father is evil.

Perfect is the enemy of the good.

I'm pretty happy to mind my own business and let God sort it out as He wishes.

As a point of information, is that directed at me? If so, you don't know what the h*ll you're talking about.
