Funny thing, there was a time when being a conservative meant keeping the government OUT of our bedrooms and private lives!

Newspeak for: "I have a right to an abortion or a turkey baster pregnancy."

This thread is degenerating on both side of the debate so I'll try to keep it sane. A few points. Funny thing, there was a time when being a conservative meant keeping the government OUT of our bedrooms and private lives!

Ditto the argument by the libs on abortion. As far as the two women are concerned, let them go at it all they like in privacy. Once a child comes into it, that (imo) crosses the line.

Now either you agree with me on that or you don't. If you disagree, then no amount of argument can sway you.

If you disagree with Heather having two mommies, then you disagree with the veep on this matter. And being family does NOT give you a pass to effectively endorse something that's wrong.

I'm sick of people who otherwise would be dead against this saying it's ok because it's the Veep's family. I have a lot more respect for someone who just says "I think what they are doing is fine" than I do for someone who says "it's sick, but she's family, what can you do?".

If it's family, then it's even MORE your responsibility to take a stand on it. I.E. you might not really like the idea of smoking pot, but if you see a kid on the street doing it you mightnt get out of your car to stop them. If you see my OWN kid on the street smoking pot, damn it but I'll hold up the traffic for an hour while I lay it on him.

The veep "tacitly" supporting this is the worst solution. If he supports it, then let him say it, if not, then same thing.
