July 3, 2008 ABC News: 'Pregnant man' gives birth

(NECN) - ABC News is reporting that Thomas Beatie, the so-called 'pregnant man', has given birth to a healthy baby girl.

Beatie is a transgender male who had kept his female reproductive organs in hopes of having a baby someday. In an interview this spring on the Oprah Winfrey show, Beatie said his desire to have children motivated him to use his still working female reproductive organs when he learned that Nancy, his wife of five years, was unable to conceive.

"I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn't define who I am," Beatie told Winfrey.

No other details of the birth have been made available.
