This article should be read in conjunction with Star Parker's article "Mary Cheney's New World" on the need for a Federal Marriage Amendment. The creators of our Constitution did not even question whether marriage was between a man and a woman. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=mary_cheneys_new_world&ns=StarParker&dt=05/22/2006&page=2

It is unnatural for children to grow up with gay parents. Yes homosexuals have certain rights, but what about the childrens' rights to grow in a healthy environment? As a young person myself, I am very thankful that I was not raised by two gay men.

There are married Americans who are so desperate to adopt children that they will adopt foreign orphans. If an American child is an orphan, there is no pressing need for them to be adopted by two gays.

In 2000 Richard Hatch, the homosexual winner of survivor lost custody of his adopted son after charges of physical abuse surfaced. He was acquitted of criminal charges, but the child was still removed.

Remember, when you allow gay parents to have children, the children are completely under their care. I do not feel comfortable with gay men "spanking" and punishing children. Do you?

Even if most gay parents did not abuse their children, 47% of molestation cases come from within the family: fathers, stepfathers, and uncles. Allowing gay marriage endangers many more children.

Ms Crouse is correct: Mary Cheney's pregnancy strongly affects our society. It shows a strong trend in our country that few would have imagined just 15 years ago. The fact that America's conservative Vice President could have a homosexual daughter and the President congratulates them on her pregnancy- and on top of it they head the conservative party- shows where we will soon be if you and I don't take a strong stand against gay marriage.

This article is a big bunch of bullcrap. Their baby doesn't affect us in the least bit. For crying out loud, get a life already. At least she's not aborting a baby.

funny how fluid morals are. When a liberal wants to have a baby without a father, it's a tear at the moral fabric of society. When the vice president's daughter does, everyone should mind his own business.

I'd say it's a pretty damning set of circumstances across the board, regardless of your political persuasions.

And may God help the innocent.

Aren't most gays raised by straight parents?

Good grief! Your logic implies that the optimal conditions for raising a child is with two lesbian partners because men are more likely to molest a child. It is curious with your logic that you have a problem with Cheney's daughter.

Baloney.

Here you have someone who is pregnant, is keeping the baby, and will raise the child in a secure, loving home.

And its none of anyone's damn business.

Good for Mary Cheney and congrats to the couple.

Aint that grand? Out of wedlock gay parenting didn't become a problem until Mary Cheney became pregnant.

"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"

I would dearly love to present a much more graphic, very realistic interpretation of this fruity, sanitized language.

But I'd be banned instantly.

This doesnt even involve Gay Marriage, I don't believe Mary Cheney and Heather Poe are residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and therefore could not be Gayly wed.

No this is an issue entirely different, Gay Adoption. I believe this has a greater potential to affect our traditions and society than even Gay Marriage, however debating against it in public seems to be more politically incorrect than debating against Gay Marriage, I wonder why....

After working with kids in from the inner cities, I have changed my mind regarding gay marriage.

It's more important for the kids to be raised by adults who love them; who give a damn about them.....the sexual orientation of those raising the kids is secondary IMHO.

In far too many instances hetero couples have destroyed the lives of these kids, not to mentioned destroyed themselves. Gay couple who truly care about the future of their kids are worth their weight in gold in comparison with the kids whose fathers are dead from gunshot wounds, uncles who are drunk on a gallon of malt liquor and urinating on their lawns in front of their nephews ad nieces or a grandfather forced into fatherhood who falls asleep in his own puke in front of his 8th granddaughter who was fathered by the 8th different guy who slept with the daughter.

Yes folks...hetero households are that screwed up in too many cases...I've seen it.

Can two loving parents of the same sex be worse? No.

Such a poor child to be born to such a selfish woman. A society without fathers will never prosper.

It looks like it is very hard for some people to understand that they are NOT going to get to control other people's choices. The far left wants to control us - and so does the far right.

I wouldn't be surprised if that mean ole Mary Cheney even plans to go as far as letting the kid be taught evolution. Perish the thought.
