RSSHorton Hears A Pro-Life Message?
W.H. Chellis
Last Saturday we took the kids to see the movie Horton Hears a Who.
It was a lot of fun.
I heard more than a Who. “Who” else detected a pretty strong pro-life theme? Was it on purpose or did Horton’s motto “a life is a life no matter how small” accidently strike a pro-life cord?
Did anyone else see the movie? What did you think?

“A person’s a person, no matter how small” is a powerfully simple argument against abortion, euthanasia, etc.
NPR reports that the Seuss family lawyer, and the widowed Mrs. Seuss, don’t want us using the line:

Actually, I thought there was quite a bit of stereotyping going on of all those embattled home-schoolers. Caroll Burnett’s character seemed to embody a lot of the bias that you folks are entrenched, narrow-minded and bigoted. I guess that eclipsed actually discerning some sort of “pro-life” secret code. Well, that and I am not one much for finding secret codes one way or another in pop culture. It’s sort of like thinking whole colonies of little people exist on dead dandelions. Oops, is my Kanga showing?
