The Mary Cheney lesbian baby birthing threads are deteriorating into two factions, those who think it's ok for lesbians/homosexuals to raise kids and those who don't.
Please answer Yes or No to the following question: Do you approve of Homosexual/Lesbian couples raising children?
No longterm mistook you post for a yes. He/she is a definate no, and always has been.
look at the society we have now. how many people walking around right now were born to/raised by heterosexual parents? 99.9%. did ALL of those heterosexual parents do such a stellar job? is the introduction of a tiny percent of people who want to go the "Mary Cheney" route going to make things that much worse?
and you can't do anything about it anyway. as I have posted over and over again, any woman is free to get pregnant in this country. what would you like to do about it? jail them?
Post 64. If you follow the thread from the start, you will see who starts the debate.
No
She's not aborting though, isn't she? Although I'm sure some of those here think she should.
Go read post 64- the thread author started the deabte. Blame him/her.
Uh, if its an opinion poll, why the heck are YOU debating then? Sheesh. Give me a break.
Is that a serious question?
what "position" is that? because most of the people on this thread, simply want to demonize Mary Cheney.
I'll ask you the same question - what do you want to do about this? don't give me some vague answer about your "moral position", do you want government to be able to do anything about this? If your answer is NO, then all I simply saying is - don't make your moral position part of the political debate.
What about the rights of the reproductivee?
Let us know how this turns out ;)
I have to hit the sack. Nite all.
Then why did you bring up child beating?
about as well as Limbaugh demonizing Michael J Fox worked out for Jim Talent.
Well said. And the Leaders of the Republican party would be well advised to pay attention.
I didn't, the person I posted to did.
There are thousands of children born in heterosexual environments far worse than those of Cheney and her partner. There are single welfare moms popping out kids left and right solely for the money. There are even messed up women out there who have babies so their men won't leave them. How are those situations any better for the children than the child Mary Cheney will have.
Then why don't I see thread after thread about the thousands of children being born to single, teenage mothers who have neither the financial or emotional resources to raise a child?
I didn't, the person I posted to did.
Is this or is this not YOUR post to me?
So tell us, if a child, any child, regardless of it's parents or who they are, is being beaten, or is in some other precarious situation that you know about........is it nobody's business to stop it? Since it is going on in their own "private home" is it their business?
When ANY harm is being brought to any child, it is everyones business. Where children are concerned, it is society's responsibility to ensure that child is not harmed, even emotionally.
Can't you even remember what you've posted on THIS thread?
you won't get an answer from any of them to these kinds of questions.
and I tell you this also - the referendums on gay marriage, that are failing in every state - if the debate on that turns into talk like this, demonizing Mary Cheney for wanting a baby, you are going to see the margins on those referendum shrink slowly as independents are turned off.
that's why the left is pushing the Mary Cheney story, they want to bait the right into over-reacting to it, so they can be marginalized and push independents away.
