QUOTE: A person's a person, no
matter how small. [Horton Hears a Who, the 1954
Dr. Seuss childrens' book about an elephant who tries to protect tiny creatures
on a speck of dust, but makes no mention of abortion. This is a common pro-life
slogan.]
AUTHOR: Horton Hears a Who! is a 1954 book by
Theodor Seuss Geisel, under the name Dr. Seuss. It is the second Seuss book to
feature Horton the Elephant, the first being Horton Hatches the Egg. The
Whos would later make a reappearance in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!.
After World War II, Geisel was able to move beyond his feelings of animosity
towards Japan, using this book as an allegory for the American post-war
occupation of the country, as well as dedicating the book to a Japanese friend.
