Dr. Seuss's Horton embraced by abortion foesDENVER, Colo. - The Dr. Seuss tale of an elephant named Horton who struggles to protect a microscopic community from a larger world oblivious to its existence may become a plot twist in Colorado's debate over a proposed constitutional amendment on personhood.
The children's classic "Horton Hears a Who" will hit the big screen March 14.
It strikes abortion foe Colorado for Equal Rights as an opportunity to celebrate the story's central theme that "a person's a person, no matter how small."
The group is petitioning for a ballot measure asking voters to say personhood begins at conception.
"It's so true that whatever stage of life you're in, you're a person, whatever your size," says Kristi Burton, the group's 20-year-old founder.
