'A person no matter how small': Question of when life begins is at core of abortion debate
Those who, like me, see personhood at the earliest stages of human life, from conception, see abortion as a violent act against our unborn neighbors.

A line in Dr. Seuss’ book "Horton Hears a Who" haunts readers: “A person’s a person no matter how small.”
Ironically, this was penned by a man, Theodor Geisel, who while creating patriotic cartoons in support of America’s war effort against the fascism of Germany and Japan, made Japanese Americans look small with cartoons that depicted them as less than human. Horton was his apology, after a tour of Japan softened the heart of the artist.
