At the premiere screening of "Horton Hears a Who" last Saturday in Hollywood, activists infiltrated the screening and began shouting at the screen.  What was all the hub-bub about? It was Horton's motto:

"A person's a person, no matter how small."

Turns out that pro-life advocates have latched onto this line of dialogue (which is also in the book), and are using the movie as a platform to collect signatures and otherwise campaign for pro-life legislation.  For his part, Dr. Seuss was adamant that his work not be used for political purposes.  But, honestly, can you really argue that an elephant that spent a whole book sitting on an egg didn't have some sort of pro-life agenda?

Well, I guess Horton has a point.  We're going to need all those kids for something...
