I have a problem that she purposely found a man to impregnate herself so she could raise a child without a father. I would have less of a problem if the father is someone she knows, and if he will be involved in raising the child, but I still would have a problem with a deliberate decision to conceive and raise a child without a loving, two-parent biological family.

Yes, if a woman gets pregnant, I want her to have the child and raise it as a loving mother -- but that's a different question than whether she SHOULD have gotten pregnant.

While it is easy to agree that a child is better with a biological mother than with no family at all, that determination starts with the existance of the child.

The question of whether a woman should deliberately conceive a child is another issue entirely. I don't happen to believe that the best thing in the world would be if every woman on the planet spent their entire reproductive lives pregnant popping out children every 9 months.

Meaning that I don't think HAVING new children is itself the noblest goal of life. Since I don't believe that, I can say that Mary Chaney was selfish in forcing a child to be brought into the world without a loving biological family unit.

It is the same correct argument made by Dan Quayle about single mothers.

I have no doubt Mary Chaney will be a loving mother, at least if the baby is a girl (one has to wonder about lesbians who hate men being capable of properly raising boys to be men). I don't know if Mary is a man-hating lesbian.

I have to agree with this. She can be a loving mother, but getting pregnant by either someone or by a test tube simply for the sake of avoiding having a father in the child's life is pure selfishness. Children need a mother figure and they need a father figure. Heterosexual couples that adopt are loving parents that are providing mother-father influences. Bisexual couples that have children in the way Mary is having one are depriving that child of the father influence. I see all the time what happens to young women and young men that have not had this influence and it is not good.
