The last statement says it all. "It is my child". What a happy moment for this couple - nothing to do with politics.....

I am a divorced Mother who raised three children alone. Two were boys. I aked them if it made a real difference that their Dad was never around for them, since I did everything. I did baseball, softball, swimming, I bought motorcycles cars, I tried to make sure they were not deprived because their Dad never saw them. And they informed me that it did make a difference, and I couldn't know what it was like because I had always had two great parents. I wished I had chosen a better mate for their father, but I was young and only saw the outside. They felt cheated, and they were. And that was my fault for not planning a life for them with a father in the home. How will this little Cheney baby feel later in life, to know his Mother picked a woman, a lesbian, to take the place of his father. Is that right to do this to the child. Oh no doubt it will be loved and have all the advantages of money. But is it fair to the child to pick this life for him. We'll see.
