Mary Cheney is pregnant, and this will be the U.S. Vice President's sixth grandchild.

However, this should prove interesting for her & her partner of 15 years, what w/ all the legislation recently passed in their home state of Virginia.

Begin with the turkey-basting joeks......now.

I knew this would be a kingfish thread.

I already heard a turkey-baster joke this morning on the local shitty shock jock radio station that the builders next door were kindly blasting under our window at 7am :(

Did it have to do with David Crosby being the father?

Colbert was doing pretty good and then he went for the Crosby joke.

what do these asshats say about hetero couples who have children via medical intervention?

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Thursday, 7 December 2006 04:54 (seventeen years ago) link

they calls them "snowflake babies"

could be worse, they could have made joeks about how Ann Coulter is the father, as was made on of the local shows.

While there are no specific Virginia laws addressing the custody and adoption rights of gays and lesbians, Virginia courts have routinely discriminated against gays and lesbians by finding that the parent’s status as gay or lesbian is not in the “best interests” of the child.
The result, according to Jennifer Chrisler of Family Pride, is that Poe will “have no legal relationship with her child.”
“In the state of Virginia, it’s very difficult for lesbian couples to have children together,” says Chrisler. “Heather Poe will have no legal relationship with her child. She can’t adopt as a second parent. She won’t have her name on the birth certificate.“

Asked what the couple could do to give Poe some legal rights as a parent, Chrisler advised: “Move to Maryland.”

that's really infuriating. i hope all the "pro-family" republicans who know and care about the couple are ashamed of themselves for encouraging this movement.

For a second, I thought that CNN screengrab was of an aborted fetus.

1st Town Hall bit o' fun which you really need to read entirely.

here's a hint to the tone: it's entitled, "Mary Cheney's pregnancy affects us all"

I agree that Heather Poe should do the decent thing and become a transsexual.

I want to shake JS Crouse until her head pops off. This is my preferred method of dealing with authoritarians and their supporters, in the world inside my head.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

really, it's the only option to support traditional families. Otherwise, the child wouldn't have two mommies; it'd grow up in a single-mother home and wind up a pole-dancer or like Dennis Rodman.

oh yeah, and they have to be married.

xp (maybe)

Look out! Civil unions are now non-marriage marriages
