I already agreed that a (married) mother and father are optimal. But I don't think it would be preferable for Ms. Cheney to have a mock marriage to a male just to provide a father.
how about living her life as a lesbian without bringing a fatherless child into the world, you don't mention that particular option.
Good. So a father can not be substituted for and is ideal.

No one has suggested that. It's quite ludicrous, actually.
The suggestion is that Ms. Cheney accept the biological facts of her sexual orientation. The acts which bring her pleasure are by nature fruitless.
