Mary Cheney gave birth today to perhaps the most anticipated baby in contemporary U.S. politics -- her first child, Samuel David Cheney, whom she will raise with her longtime partner Heather Poe.
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy is the sixth grandchild for Dick Cheney.

That is because that little baby boy is just a prop for her lurid sex fantasy...
Eternity in hell.
We can love the child (and love his mother and extended kin) without approving the seriously objectionable choice of nonmarital procreation and the marginalization of fatherhood. The latter has implications that go way, way, WAY beyond the story of the, frankly, likeable Mary Cheney and her beautiful child.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with the child. Only the way he was concieved. I find it amazing that so many Freepers make fun of the DUmmies for their gay lifestyle but defend Ms Cheney. There seems to be a double standard.
Actually, that's the problem here. People not thinking out the implications of the profound problems inherent in artificial reproduction and the reduction of fatherhood to a 5 mL squirt.
I assume Mary Cheney, who seems warm, intelligent, and attractive, has simply not thought out the consequences of raising a boy who knows that his maleness per se, his relationship to that annihilated thing called fatherhood, is worth very nearly nothing.
But you areally aren't supposed to think...
No, he will not. He will be exposed to the lesbian lifestyle and will think it is the norm. Thats wrong.
Might ought to read your bible. If you have one.
Very simple. Bob and Elizabeth Dole , man and woman. Mary Cheney and Heather, 2 women. Big difference.
Dear cajungirl, your own statement shows that being without a father is a tragedy: the result of ",,,war, accidents, suicides, rapes, desertion."
It is a grievous wound, for a boy to never know his father, not even his father's name, nor even his paternal kin. My husband and I have an adopted son who will (probably) never know his natural parents, who abandoned him under tragic circumstances in the Russian Far East 15 years ago. But we did not cause that to happen. We did not bring him into existence deliberately stripped of his natural kinships.
Some kids are fatherless by chance. No child should be fatherless by choice.
Right and this is one of the ugliest threads I have ever read on FR.
Homosexuality is not a choice, and there but for the grace of God or genes or whatever, go any of us. Things are tough enough for her, without us piling on.
And Mary is a lovely lady who has a wonderful family. I'll wager she'll be very relieved when her son starts dating girls..:)

Looks like homosexuality is not only accepted but embraced in todays society. Something that has the potential to destroy our society being so embraced, and calling the people who disagree with this destructive behavior wrong, is disturbing.
No, the Catholic church is not right in every instance. They are right in this one, but not in every instance.
I will say it again, because it is based on my observation during my long life.
Fidelity between homosexuals is very rare. They are a promiscuous group. In fact, they are somewhat obsessed with sex. With the stories, and the jokes, and the parties, and the costumes — all with a sexual twist.
That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.
Excellent observations, Mrs. Don-o, making the distinctions in all the right places.
Ok, you worry about straight men and women still being able to find each other, marry, and have a family, and I'll worry about what illegal immigration is going to do to destroy our society.
Bingo.
Homosexual orientation is not a choice -— as I well know -— but homosexual behavior is a choice. All sexual behavior, for human beings, anyhow, is a choice. And sexual behavior between persons who are not united as husband and wife is, by definition, illicit.
I was married to my ex husband for 21 years. I’s say that was a long term commitment. He beat the hell out of me all durring that “long term commitment”. I could’t leave. I was 1000 miles from my family, 4 kids, no job, no money, no place to go and was emotionally beat down and scared to death to leave. Back then, there was no such thing as crises centers and such. You were on your own. But I did have a long term relationship.
Are you not capable of reading what I typed? I was only talking about polite and civil discourse. The birth of a baby is a blessing and should not be turned into an opportunity to attack the mother and our Presidential administration.
Take the trashing over to the Rosie thread.
