Mixed reaction to Cheney's unmarried gay daughter's pregnancy
"Mary Cheney announces plans to bring a fatherless child into a godforsaken, sodomistic abomination of a relationship that is threatening American society as we know it." - headline on teh intarwebs.

Conservative leaders voiced dismay Wednesday at news that Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Dick Cheney, is pregnant, while a gay-rights group said the vice president faces "a lifetime of sleepless nights" for serving in a bigoted, hateful misadministration, sleeping with harpy wife Lynne Cheney.

News that Mr Cheney's gay daughter is pregnant has touched a raw nerve as advocates for conservative family values struggle to reconcile their loyalty to the Cheneys with their visceral opposition to same-sex relationships - and particularly to raising a child without a father.

Carrie Gordon Earll of the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the pregnancy as "unwise."

Janice Crouse of the conservative group Concerned Women for America described the pregnancy as "unconscionable," but refused to damn them to Hell.

"Next one who says anything gets it."
