Confusion

Okay, still confused about something in the "Horton Hears A Who" movie. I've heard that some people use the line "A person's a person no matter how small" to claim that Dr. Seuss was against abortion. And though it's Horton who says that, I wonder if the kangaroo lady was meant to poke gentle fun at the fundies. She was described as being one of those self-appointed arbiter of proper behavior or some such, and though she didn't believe Horton and kept saying "if you can't see it or hear it, it doesn't exist," her character was basically that of a fundie. Because by golly, you're wrong and she's right and woe betide anyone who disagrees with her!

So I'm not sure if they were trying to say something, and if they were, no idea what it was they were trying to say. Or I could be reading things between the lines, things that aren't there. Hence the confusion.

Aye. Maybe it was poking fun at fundies of all kinds?
