Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie Is Pregnant Again

With the world abuzz of the news of his second pregnancy, Thomas Beatie tells the definitive story of his first pregnancy this Tuesday on Discovery Health. Discovery Health presents the only documentary featuring professional footage of Thomas and his wife, Nancy, through the final weeks of his first pregnancy, the landmark birth of their first child and their eventual return home. PREGNANT MAN premieres Tuesday, November 18, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Discovery Health. In addition, an encore presentation of PREGNANT MAN will air the following day, Wednesday, November 19, at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

PREGNANT MAN provides the only all-access look inside the everyday household of America’s most unconventionally conventional family. Originally born female, Thomas, 34, underwent multiple medical treatments to biologically, socially and legally re-identify as a man. After marrying, the couple decided to start a family, but Nancy was unable to have children. Faced with this reality, Thomas made the unprecedented decision to suspend his testosterone treatments in hopes of becoming pregnant. Following successful artificial insemination, he gave birth to a healthy baby girl in June 2008.

Since announcing Thomas’ pregnancy on national television, the Beaties have become a worldwide media obsession. Seeking to satisfy an insatiable public curiosity, journalists from countless countries have requested interviews and pictures of the family. The Beaties have ignited nonstop conversation and interest among everyday people from all walks of life — some extremely supportive of the family, and others outraged at what they interpret as disregard for familial and societal norms.

In PREGNANT MAN, Thomas and Nancy welcome viewers into their idyllic suburban world in scenic Bend, Ore. Before Thomas’ pregnancy, the Beaties looked and acted just like any other married couple in the neighborhood — but once the world learned of Thomas’ news, their charming Pacific Northwest town became the center of a global media storm. Constantly pursued by the press, Thomas and Nancy are barely able to leave their house to go to work each morning. Meanwhile, their neighbors are left to ponder the couple next door that is both drastically different yet strikingly similar to them. PREGNANT MAN is an engrossing examination of family, gender and tolerance in America today.

Man Circumcises Sons With Utility Knife

Investigators say a man has been charged with child abuse in Caldwell County for circumcising his two infant sons with a utility knife.

Johnny Eric Marlowe, 32, pleaded no contest to more than a dozen counts of child neglect and one count of assaulting his wife. “I’d rather just take the maximum and let it go,” Marlowe said to the judge, reports CBS News affiliate WBTV in Charlotte.

Authorities said Marlowe fathered children with his legal wife and another woman who lives in their home. One gave birth to a boy at their home in the rural Kings Creek community in November 2005, and the other gave birth to a boy there four months later.

The Associated Press reported that Marlowe had a total of 11 children with the two women, but WBTV reports that he is actually the father of 12.

Marlowe’s wife, Amber, tried to tell the judge that her husband was married to another women at the same time and they all lived together in a very small house, the station reports.

Caldwell County Sheriff’s Detective Shelly Hartley said Marlowe denied the women prenatal care in both cases and circumcised the boys when they were 8 days old.

Police reports indicate that Marlowe used a utility knife and one of the boys bled extensively, reports WBTV.

Marlowe said in 2004, doctors at a Pennsylvania hospital tried to force Amber to have a C-section, which Marlowe opposed, the station reports.

The doctors even went to court to try and get legal guardianship of Marlowe’s unborn daughter.

The story made national news, but Marlowe won the case. Amber gave birth without complications at another hospital.

Marlowe later moved to Gaston County and is serving a 150-day jail sentence there on charges of resisting a public officer, assault on a female and multiple counts of child neglect.
