My buddy Mike Long, occasional NROnik, has sent along this news clip, from Canadaโs National Post newspaper, January 29, 2001: โOTTAWA โ The lawyer representing the widow of Theodor Seuss Geisel, known around the globe as childrenโs writer Dr. Seuss, is protesting the reprinting of a quote from the authorโs work, Horton Hears a Who!, on an anti-abortion poster being distributed in Ottawa Roman Catholic churches. Cathy Bencieengo said she will ask the local anti-abortion group Action Life Ottawa to remove the line โA personโs a person, no matter how smallโ and Dr. Seussโs name from a colour poster showing an embryo.โ
