A Person’s a Person, No Matter How Small

Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who! (cited in Alcorn, Why Pro-Life?)

Dr. Seuss ends Horton Hears a Who! with the line: “So let that be a lesson to one and to all; a person’s a person, no matter how small.” The children’s story lands a serious claim. Size, development, and location do not determine personhood. The smallest among us still count.

How you’d preach it

Simple, memorable line that carries moral weight without needing heavy argument.
