I am not at all condoning the violent threats that he has received. But its a little annoying how much of this he willingly takes to the media. I personally will not judge him at all for his lifestyle choices or for choosing to have another baby so soon. But, maybe he should consider protecting his families privacy a little bit and stop whoring out every single part of his pregnancies and family journey to the media. Also, why is anyone surprised that someone who was born a woman and still has all the necessary female anatomy in order to procreate, can get pregnant? If he wants to be "normal" and for his children to have a "normal" life, then maybe he should not have national interviews with Barbara Walters. Just sayin.

No sympathy here for media sluts. Pretty much everyone in the public eye--actors, athletes, politicians, singers, whatever--gets threatening letters from fringe whackos. This is part of the choice that Beatie made when he decided to take his story public (again and again and again...) Not excusing the bigots out there, but he knew that they would have plenty to say about his situation (frankly, they're the only reason why it's newsworthy at this point).

I'm more amazed that they found a doctor willing to inseminate them again so soon! I thought there were a lot of disadvantages to being pregnant back to back.

Mostly I just feel amazed that he deliberately got pregnant again 4 and a half months after his daughter was born. Ugh, no time to recuperate at all!

" I was taught to believe this was a country of individuality, where everyone is free, nay, encouraged to make their own path."

I was taught to believe that too. But apparently the conservative Christian right was not taught to believe that - they're taught that it's their personal job to save all of us from eternal hellfire by converting us - if not in spirit, by changing the law, so that individuality is no longer possible. The thing I hate about democracy is the idea that at some point, those guys might win.

I'll never understand people who are threatened by anybody who's different. But can I just say that baby is freakin' adorable.
