I might hate Mary Cheney...

but I hate James Dobson more. I acctually wrote a Letter To The Editor to TIME Magazine. Wouldn't it rock if it got published?

"Two Mommies Is One Too Many
Mary Cheney is starting a family. Let's hope she doesn't start a trend
By JAMES C. DOBSON

A number of social conservatives, myself included, have recently been asked to respond to the news that Mary Cheney, the Vice President's daughter, is pregnant with a child she intends to raise with her lesbian partner. Implicit in this issue is an effort to get us to criticize the Bush Administration or the Cheney family. But the concern here has nothing to do with politics. It is about what kind of family environment is best for the health and development of children, and, by extension, the nation at large.

With all due respect to Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, the majority of more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when raised by their married mother and father. That is not to say Cheney and Poe will not love their child. But love alone is not enough to guarantee healthy growth and development. The two most loving women in the world cannot provide a daddy for a little boy--any more than the two most loving men can be complete role models for a little girl."

My retort:

As of 1990, the National Adoption Clearinghouse estimated that between 6 and 14 million children in the United States were living with a gay or lesbian parent. Apparently, Mr. Dobson, the trend started quite awhile ago. [Viewpoint December 18th]. In James Dobson's lightly veiled criticism of Mary Cheney's pregnancy and plans to raise a child with her partner, Dobson postulates that "....more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when being raised by their married mother and father," though his only citations of evidence for this come from individual psychologists Carol Gilligan and Dr. Kyle Pruett, both of whom addressed him by letter after the publication of this column asking that he no longer quote them in his writing. Readers should, instead, be directed to the "social-science" research done by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Bar Association, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychoanalytic Association, American Psychological Association, Child Welfare League of America, National Adoption Center, National Association of Social Workers, North American Council on Adoptable children or the Voice for American Adoption, all of whom have declared that it is in the best interest of children to have two loving, supportive, legally recognized PARENTS, regardless of sex or gender.
