Janice Crouse and Carrie Gordon Earll, you are awful human beings 
Mary Cheney, Dick Cheney's daugther, is pregnant. Most people would be happy for her, but a great many aren't -- for the lone fact that she's gay.
Carrie Gordon Earll, a policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family, expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the pregnancy as unwise. "Just because you can conceive a child outside a one-woman, one-man marriage doesn't mean it's a good idea," Earll said. "Love can't replace a mother and a father."
Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America described the pregnancy as "unconscionable." "It's very disappointing that a celebrity couple like this would deliberately bring into the world a child that will never have a father," said Crouse, a senior fellow at the group's think tank. "They are encouraging people who don't have the advantages they have."

Well, Carrie Gordon Earll and Janice Crouse, I have this to say: you are awful human beings.
You're right... Love most certainly can't replace a mother and a father -- but it does a damn good job of coming close. A lot of times, it even does a better job.
You can see those times in every single parent family: whether their situation was caused because the birth was out of wedlock, there was a divorce, or someone was widowed. You can also see that in any adoptive family or foster care situation. If you bothered to take the time to actually meet the children of a gay couple, you'd even see it there too.
Even more fortunately though, Love can do something else really important -- it can overcome and counteract the hatred and bigotry that you spews from your mouth.
Ms Crouse and Ms Earl, I'm absolutely amazed at how awful you are.
I'm amazed at how you claim your organizations are Christian, as you twist Jesus's teachings of love and understanding into personal messages of hate and intolerance.
Tonight I'm going to pray for you. I'm going to pray that one day Jesus can forgive you, and I'm going to pray that one day you might be able to forgive yourself.
