At least this child will be raised in a two parent home, which is more than can be said for many children of heterosexual “parents”.

“This child would not have been conceived had not science been able to substain live in a petri dish”

Margaret,

Yeah, Unfortunately, one of the negative outcomes of science, is that it can replicate a reaL DICK.

This cartoon is great, the usage of her pregnence in the media is going to be fun for a month or so.
I guess Cheney is going to use this pregnancy as hard as he can.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !

The religious right cannot control their own children, I think that what she did is not totally wrong, but she lives in the wrong state, of course even though Va. has laws about Mary’s so called lover visiting her in the hospital, I am sure that daddy Dick will make special arrangements for this so called family.  You know in the long run a child not having a daddy is not a big thing, early in the 20th century, daddy was someone you saw at the end of the day, you saw him going to work, and stay at home mom catering to his every wish because he was the person who brought home the money, and marriage was an institutation between a man and a women, but things have changed Mary’s child will not go without even though strictly speaking her mother is a single mom, but she is not she has a partner.  This child would not have been conceived had not science been able to substain live in a petri dish.  But to judge right or wrong leave that up to a higher source.

Mary Cheney is pregnant.  Oh, goody, a little neocon, on the way, to be raised by two feminazis.  Sorry, I am not being especially enlightened today!
