Two Mommies Is One Too Many

by Dr. James Dobson
-- Time Magazine

Posted Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2006

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.

The voices that argue otherwise tell us more about our politically correct culture than they do about what children really need. The fact remains that gender matters--perhaps nowhere more than in regard to child rearing. The unique value of fathers has been explained by Dr. Kyle Pruett of Yale Medical School in his book Fatherneed: Why Father Care Is as Essential as Mother Care for Your Child. Pruett says dads are critically important simply because "fathers do not mother." Psychology Today explained in 1996 that "fatherhood turns out to be a complex and unique phenomenon with huge consequences for the emotional and intellectual growth of children." A father, as a male parent, makes unique contributions to the task of parenting that a mother cannot emulate, and vice versa.

According to educational psychologist Carol Gilligan, mothers tend to stress sympathy, grace and care to their children, while fathers accent justice, fairness and duty. Moms give a child a sense of hopefulness; dads provide a sense of right and wrong and its consequences. Other researchers have determined that boys are not born with an understanding of "maleness." They have to learn it, ideally from their fathers.

But set aside the scientific findings for a minute. Isn't there something in our hearts that tells us, intuitively, that children need a mother and a father? Admittedly, that ideal is not always possible. Divorce, death, abandonment and unwed pregnancy have resulted in an ever growing number of single-parent families in this culture. We admire the millions of men and women who have risen to the challenge of parenting alone and are meeting their difficult responsibilities with courage and determination. Still, most of them, if asked, would say that raising children is a two-person job best accomplished by a mother and father.

In raising these issues, Focus on the Family does not desire to harm or insult women such as Cheney and Poe. Rather, our conviction is that birth and adoption are the purview of married heterosexual couples. Traditional marriage is God's design for the family and is rooted in biblical truth. When that divine plan is implemented, children have the best opportunity to thrive. That's why public policy as it relates to families must be based not solely on the desires of adults but rather on the needs of children and what is best for society at large.

This is a lesson we should have learned from no-fault divorce. Because adults wanted to dissolve difficult marriages with fewer strings attached, reformers made it easier in the late 1960s to dissolve nuclear families. Though there are exceptions, the legacy of no-fault divorce is countless shattered lives within three generations, adversely affecting children's behavior, academic performance and mental and physical health. No-fault divorce reflected our selfish determination to do what was convenient for adults, and it has been, on balance, a disaster.

We should not enter into yet another untested and far-reaching social experiment, this one driven by the desires of same-sex couples to bear and raise children. The traditional family, supported by more than 5,000 years of human experience, is still the foundation on which the well-being of future generations depends.

Dobson is the founder and chairman of Focus on the Family.

Democrats’ promises immediately shown to be empty

The liberal evangelical political crusader, Jim Wallis – the man commissioned by the Democrats to further subtly sway American evangelicals towards buying into a more radical, liberal social agenda – was recently asked by the Democrat leadership in Washington to give the weekly radio address for the party of the donkey. Regarding abortion, he said, “wouldn’t coming together to find common ground that dramatically reduces the number of abortions be better than both the left and the right using it as an issue to divide us?” What rhetorical hogwash! You can look at one of the latest pieces of legislation that the House just voted on to see how these comments are disingenuous. The bill I’m talking about was called the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2006. As reported by Citizenlink, “the bill would have required abortionists to inform women that after 20 weeks their babies would be able to feel the pain caused by an abortion.” Yet the vote on this legislation – which clearly would achieve just what Wallis says is his party’s goal – clearly shows the Democrats at large are lying about their so-called commitment at reducing abortions. Don’t fall for the lies. Actions speak louder than words. Let’s pray that those Democrats who will soon take office in January and who call themselves pro-life will move their party beyond mere empty political rhetoric.

U.S. Politician plans to take his oath swearing on the Koran

If this politician is allowed to carry out this precedent, then what will stop those of other religions from swearing allegiance on their “holy books”? As Prager points out, what would stop a scientologist, for example, from being allowed to take his oath of office with his hand on a copy of "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard?
