Conservative leaders voiced dismay Wednesday at news that Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Dick Cheney, is pregnant, while a gay-rights group said the vice president faces “a lifetime of sleepless nights” for serving in an administration that has opposed recognition of same-sex couples.
How bad is it that a gay woman is pregnant?
Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America described the pregnancy as “unconscionable.”
“It’s very disappointing that a celebrity couple like this would deliberately bring into the world a child that will never have a father,” said Crouse, a senior fellow at the group’s think tank. “They are encouraging people who don’t have the advantages they have.”
Gee. So it’s not a good idea to bring babies into the world if two parents aren’t ready to participate and if the the baby won’t have access to material “advantages.” That sounds like it could be slogan for a new national plan for universal access to birth control.
What does Grandpa-to-be-Dick have to say?
The vice president’s office declined to elaborate on the circumstances of Mary Cheney’s pregnancy.
