Mary Cheney's Immaculate Conception
Immaculate Conception or a turkey baster? We may never know... unless she writes another senseless book.
Mary Cheney, the openly gay daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, is pregnant.
Mary Cheney, 37, and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, 45, are expecting a baby, said Lea Anne McBride, a spokeswoman for the vice president. The baby is due in late spring.
"The vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth granddaughter," McBride said.
The vice president's other, older daughter, Elizabeth Cheney, is on leave as deputy assistant secretary of state after having her fifth child with her husband in July.
Mary Cheney was an aide to her father during the 2004 campaign, as was Elizabeth, and now is vice president for consumer advocacy at AOL.
McBride declined to elaborate on the circumstances of Mary Cheney's pregnancy. Mary Cheney and Poe moved from Colorado to Virginia a year ago to be closer to the Cheney family.
Does anyone elese find it very ironic that the very administration that Mary Cheney worked so hard to get elected is the same adminisation rallying support to make life harder and less secure for her and lots of other people just like her? It's pathetic. Mary needs to grow some balls and stand up to the constant anti-gay bigotry in this country.

I just want to point out that as a gay Catholic, you are making a mistaken use of the word Immaculate Conception. Immaculate conception is a term used for the Blessed Virgin Mary, because she was born Immaculate, Perfect, Stainless from any evil with no degree of sin. So in general term, it's not about a woman having a child (i.e. Mary gave birth to Jesus). It's about the Mother being born perfect and free from any impurities which makes her divine.

i do have sympathy for mary cheney. it's hard to reject or alienate yourself from your family. also to be fair, dick cheney has always been particularly sensitive to this issue and open/accepting about his daughter's sexuality- even stating openly that he thinks that gay marriage should be a state issue and not a federal issue, though his administration felt differently.
that said, dick cheney is an evil puppetmaster and i don't think the little he did was enough.
