Will Mary Cheney's Baby's Mother have Legal Rights in the Commonwealth of Virginia?

Yes, it is true. Vice-President Dick Cheney's daughter, Mary Cheney, is pregnant. But what, may you ask, is so special about this particular event? Well, honestly, we don't know... meaning we don't know where the sperm came from. But what just may be most special about this baby is taken from the Wonkette article titled "Mary Cheney's baby has two mommies." Really. It says everything. The other mommy is Cheney's partner for fifteen years, Heather Poe. Reportedly, the grandparents are thrilled about their sixth grandchild. This will, naturally, according to the Washington Post, set off sparks about gay marriage. Cheney feels that she and Poe are married, despite the fact that Commonwealth of Virginia, wherein the couple resides, just passed a state constitutional amendment baning gay marriage and even civil unions. Tragically, therefore, they would obviously not fall under Virginia's common law marriage statute. It is unclear whether or not Heather Poe will have any rights over the baby as the law does not make clear provisions for this sort of situation. Well there is nothing like a good baby to stir up Washington politics...
