Mary Cheney’s pregnancy poses problems not just for her child, but also for all Americans. Her action repudiates traditional values and sets an appalling example for young people at a time when father absence is the most pressing social problem facing the nation. With 37 percent of American children born to fatherless families, Mary Cheney is contributing to a trend that is detrimental to all Americans who will live with the ramifications of millions of children whose anger and frustration at not knowing their father will be felt in the public schools and communities of our nation.
Mary Cheney is among that burgeoning group of adult women over age 20 that are driving the trend of women who don’t want a man in the picture, but want to have a baby. These older women are pushing out-of-wedlock birth statistics higher and higher. At a time when teen births and teen abortions are declining dramatically, older women are having more un-wed births and more abortions, including repeat abortions (indicating that they are using abortion as birth control).
Well-educated, professional Mary Cheney is flying in the face of the accumulated wisdom of the top experts who agree that the very best family structure for a child’s well-being is a married mom and dad family. Her child will have all the material advantages it will need, but it will still encounter the emotional devastation common to children without fathers.
One Georgia high school principal reported, “We have too many young men and women from single-mother families that don’t have the role models at home to teach them how to deal with adversity and handle responsibility. They’ve seen their mom work 60 hours a week just to put food on the table; they end up fending for themselves.”
When fatherless children get to be teens, the girls tend to start looking for love in all the wrong places and the boys tend to find as their role model the bad-boy celebrities of MTV, NFL and NBA.
As they grow older, fatherless children tend to have trouble dealing with male authority figures. Too often children in single-mother households end up angry at their absent fathers and resentful of the mother who has had to be a father figure, too. Typically, the boys who have a love-hate relationship with their mother end up hating all women. Numerous of them look for vulnerable women where they can act out their anger and be in control.
Mary Cheney’s action sets an example that is detrimental for mothers with less financial resources who will start down an irrevocable path into poverty that tends to be generational –– children in households without a father tend to themselves have unwed births later in life. Experts from both the left and the right cite a disastrous litany of negative outcomes that are predictable when a child grows up in a fatherless family. Such children tend to get involved in drugs, alcohol abuse, and delinquency; they tend to drop out of school and have teen pregnancies. An assistant principal in a Junior High School said that many of the behavioral problems that teachers face in the classroom stem from households without a father’s influence.
Mary’s pregnancy is an “in-your-face” action countering the Bush Administration’s pro-family, pro-marriage and pro-life policies. She continues to repudiate the work to which her father has devoted his life. Mary has repeatedly said that “studies” show that children only need a loving home. Her statement is incomplete because the experts agree that for the well-being of children, they desperately need a married father and a mother.
All those people who talk about doing what is best “for our children” need to get back to the basics: children need a married mom and dad. Children can do without a lot of the trimmings of childhood, but nothing can replace a home where the mother and dad love each other enough to commit for a lifetime and are absolutely crazy about their kids –– enough to be willing to sacrifice their own needs to see that their children get the very best.

The crime that Fatty Arbuckle was accused of, was the rape and death of Virginia Rappe. She was a woman, NOT a man, there was no such thing as surgery to make a man a "female" back then, so there was NO homosexual component at all, and he was NOT guilty of the charges brought against him. Neither was bestiality involved.
My "renditions", as you call them, of history, are 100% accurate, completely FACTUAL, and you should stop posting about things you don't know a thing about.
Hypocrisy is the most debased word in the American language. It means nothing to me. At any rate, it's a mystery to me how you could dredge it up in response to my post. I cited Heinlein in response to your claim of inviolable cosmic automony.
Perhaps. But that still doesn't mean women didn't have them.
Who in the heck gives a crap about this?
Faulty argument, as bestiality has no place in this discussion, or the Haggard discussion. Bestiality is against the law. Gay parenting isn't.
Children are exposed to all kinds of things in this country - and very few of them are from gay parents. Isn't that Hillary's ploy - she wants to *save the children*. You and Hillary - how touching.
When people cross the line and actually abuse children - then society steps in. But until then people who you (or I) don't approve of are free to have children.
Irrelevant to the question at hand.
But if I do believe in a God, it is my God, not yours.
So! I'm not impressed that you fail to discuss or mention the theme of the Frankfort School, the slow but sure of destruction of American Culture. One method of which is to insist on the tolerance of those whose intent is the destruction of 2000 years of Judeo-Christian morality.
The article I cited (and you) demonstrates that the Cultural Marxists have done well in recruiting willing dupes who are just as much cannon fodder for their cause as were the peasants who were red meat for the Russian Revolution.
Tolerance of immorality is acceptance of immorality.

"Aren't most gays raised by straight parents?"
How do you define straight. Here are some actual case histories.
1) Mother and father have several children. Fathers plays around with other women. Mother sexually abuses fathers favorite son. Son grows up gay. Dies of AIDS.
2) Mother dies when son is 13. Father uses his son like a woman. Son lives a gay life now.
3) Son around the age of 8 expresses positive appreciation of women in Sears catalog in scanty dress. Straight parents ridicule his interest. He is now a gay adult who wishes he could be attracted to women.
4) Straight couple has several sons, some currently straight, some gay. Father is a piggish skirt chaser. Two sons turned gay, one died of AIDS, but like(d) women as friends. Straight sons date women but don't particularly like them. A psychologist said the mother was the most malignant mother he had ever met. I surmise she is "killing" her husband by ensuring her sons will never reproduce.
As for not feeling comfortable with gay men "spanking" their children, I don't feel comfortable with straight men spanking their children. Spanking is seldom necessary in child discipline. Just check out that nanny program to see how discipline can be achieved without physical punishment.
Ha! I like that pic. Reminds me of the gothic realism found in old flicks like THE GIANT GILA MONSTER.
If I did, would that be the bit of information that would convince you of anything? Should it? No and no...
Is that a fair inference, or is this some grand unified theory of yours of the total bankruptcy of the gay person's life in general, that can have no useful purpose or meaning at all, no matter what, rather than the issue at hand about gay parenting? Which is it?
Torie, like you I have to go with my gutt instinct on this. You think that you've got all the bases covered. I have stated that I don't think you do. I've given reasons why. You can either chose to agree to disagree.
That being said, you have a good night.
OUCH!
To many men lost sight of their Godly duties as masters of the house.
Just another dishonest post...
You can't even be honest with yourself on the topic.
When you want to have an honest discussion on this issue, I'll be around.
Night. I will try to do a google if the spirit moves me in the morn. I will do it eventually. This topic will rear its ugly head again. I might as well make some effort to slay the beast, at least in this neighborhood.
