Thomas Beatie Update



This is the newest update about Thomas Beatie who is due to give birth to a daughter next month. I can't call the newscast outright disrespectful, but I have to say, it made me feel uncomfortable listening to the way they spoke about Thomas. Near the end of the clip they mention that the couple hasn't been shy about selling their story and photos, but it seems to imply that it's a cash grab more than a chance to secure income while bringing an important issue to the world. I mean, it could just as easily be a cash grab, I suppose, but that's never the focus when some straight celebrity sells the rights to her baby photos for millions of dollars.
