Horton Hears A Who: Pro-Life?

Okay first of all, if you are pro-choice, you may not want to read on. What you are about to read may question your beliefs and quite frankly, you might be ticked. If you are pro-choice and you don't really know why other than it just seemed like a logical thing to believe, read on, you might learn something.

Today I went to see Horton Hears A Who, the new animated movie of the traditional Dr. Seuss book. Now, this might sound funny, but Horton Hears a Who is about abortion.

I know what you're thinking. That's crazy. And it is. That's what I thought when I first heard that. Before I get to the meaning behind the story, I'll give you a little backup on what Horton Hears a Who has to do with abortion.

A few years ago, a girl who was part of a place called JHOP (Justice House of Prayer {I think, don't quote me on that}) had a dream. In her dream, she saw a house. Above the door of the house was a sign that read, "THE WHO." Inside the house were books that were needed for the future. Lou Engle, the founder of JHOP, heard about this dream, and it took a few years before they actually linked it to the book. But Lou Engle read the book and he saw that it was about abortion.

Okay now to the actual movie plot. Note: this allogory is mostly my opinion, and you are free to develop your own opinions about the movie.

Horton hears a small voice, a voice that no one else can hear. He hears the Who's, a perfectly alive town of people whose whole world is on a small speck on a clover. Horton represents the people who recognize that a baby is alive at conception, the Who's represent the babies. They are very alive, yet no one believes they are. Horton holds fast to the truth that "a person's a person, no matter how small."

Pieces starting to come together yet? Good, let's continue.

The Kangeroo represents the people who strongly believe in no life before birth and that getting an abortion is as close to murder as removing a kidney or another body part. Yet her son (in the movie) doesn't strongly believe as she does. This to me represents the children of the pro-choice generation, who will find their own beliefs through it all and ultimately find truth.

Horton's mouse friend (I don't remember his name) represents the Christians who believe that abortion is murder but, they want to keep it under the raps. They'll say, "That's kind of a contrevesial topic, can't we just stay away from that?"

The black bird, represents the media. I was just watching the movie and I had the strong impression, "Media."

My dad said he loved how it was the young people that ended up rising up and saying "no." We are a generation who is said to be "already conquered," but they don't know our God.

There was one part where the kangeroo was just like, "Say you were wrong, that there were no people on that clover, say I'm right and this will all go away." Let's face it, pro-life isn't a popular belief but it's fact.

If you're pro-choice and reading this, you're probably thinking, "Yeah right. All talk, no proof." Well, here's your proof. http://www.justfacts.com/abortion.asp

That link above IS NOT a Pro-Life site. It is simply the facts. Read that for a little while, and see if you still believe abortion is a humane procedure.
