Dan Savage explains to Mary Cheney what its like to get what you paid for:
In today's New York Times Mary Cheney defends her decision to get her lesbo self knocked the fuck up. Like her father, Mary Cheney believes she shouldn't have to answer for her party's attacks on same-sex parents. Yes, it's a baby, not a prop. My kid isn't a prop either, but that never stopped right-wingers from attacking me and my boyfriend over our decision to become parents. The fitness of same-sex couples to parent is very much part of the political debate thanks to the GOP and the Christian bigots that make up its lunatic "base." You're a Republican, Mary, you worked on both of your father's campaigns, and you kept your mouth clamped shut while Karl Rove and George Bush ran around the country attacking gay people, gay parents, and our children in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006. It's a little late to declare the private choices of gays and lesbians unfit for public debate, Mary. And so long as your party insists on making the fitness of homosexuals to marry or parent--or, hell, exist--a subject of public debate, Mary, your decision to become a parent is germane and very much fit for public discussion and debate.

Surprise, Surprise.
