Well a lot of people are all hot and bothered thinking that Dr!. Seuss was making a statement about abortion!. That no matter how small everything deserves a chance to live!. I would copy and paste the argument for you if it weren't so long!. Eh I'll do it anyway if I can still find it!.
The book tells the story of Horton the Elephant who, on the fifteenth of May in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him!. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called "Whoville", inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos!.
The Whos ask Horton (who, though he cannot see them, is able to hear them quite well) to protect them from harm, to which Horton happily obliges, proclaiming throughout the book that "a person's a person, no matter how small"!. In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a cage by the other animals in the jungle for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear!. His chief tormentors are Vlad Vladikoff, the Wickersham Brothers and the Sour Kangaroo, and the small kangaroo in her pouch!. Horton tells the Whos that they need to make themselves heard to the other animals, lest they end up as part of "beezlenut stew", which they finally accomplish!. The Whos finally make themselves heard by ensuring that all members of their society play their part!. In the end it is a "very small shirker named Jo-Jo" whose final addition to the volume creates enough lift for the jungle to hear the sound, thus reinforcing the moral of "a person's a person no matter how small!."
The book (most notably Horton the Elephant's recurring phrase "a person's a person, no matter how small") has found its way to the center of the recurring debate, in the United States, over abortion!. Several pro-life groups have adopted the phrase in support of their views!. Such appropriations are frowned upon by Dr!. Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel, who "doesn't like people to hijack Dr!. Seuss characters or material to front their own points of view!." [1] According to Philip Nel, who wrote a biography about Geisel/Seuss, Seuss threatened to sue a pro-life group for using his words on their stationery!. [2]
