"this issue is not about gay marriage, and its not about gay adoption either."
Hogwash. This is about a high profile, lesbian and her "partner" and their attempt to have a child together.
"this story is simply about a woman who wants to have a baby."
Wrong again!!! It about Mary, Heather and THEIR baby. Please READ the article "Mary Cheney, 37, and her longtime partner, Heather Poe, are expecting their first child,"
"what exactly do you want to do about the fact that she wants to have a baby? abort it?"
The baby is innocent. What an utterly foolish question.
"you know, a good home with two loving religious parents, like Andrea Yates had."
Oh, yea! since we can find a few crazy mothers, let's redefine a 5,000+ year old tradition and cornerstone of society. Welcome to the Moral Equivalence Club.

let's redefine a 5,000+ year old tradition Hello 5,000 years? It seems to me polygamy and abuse of women was part of the deal for thousands of those years wasn't it? Is that the kind of *tradition* you want to preserve.

who cares what the article says about Heather Poe. that's the bait, don't bite the hook.
the Andrea Yates example is extreme - but it illustrates the point. do you know how many heterosexual mothers we have in the US with no husbands, who are alcoholics, drug addicts, etc? millions. yet you want to "disqualify" Mary Cheney from being a mother because of her sexuality.
and again I will ask you - what do you want to do about this?
