Description
"Dear "Pro-Lifers": Doctor Seuss was Pro-Choice!"You always see stamps and photos of little newborn babies with the quotation: "A person is a person no matter how small!!!!", obviously referring to abortion.
Well guess what, mother fuckers? He and his wife were profoundly Pro-Choice! After he died, his wife sued an anti-choice organization for taking his words out of context for their awful cause. So unless you want a lawsuit on your hands, I suggest you stop taking his words out of context!
But seriously, in all honesty: Why would you take a dead mans words, and twist them to fit your own agenda? I thought you lot were the ones that told everyone to respect the dead and shit like that?
Yeah, so respect the dead and DON'T take their words out of context, asshole.

I don't even like his books, why should I care about his opinions?

Oh boy! A famous person believes in a certain political view. That means his opinion is automatically the optimal one.

Do the research. It wasn't a bit about abortion, it was about how the Japanese were treated in the wake of WWII

Uh...no? Not exactly. Not to my knowledge anyway, so forgive me if I am wrong.
Yes, he DID threaten to sue pro lifers for using that phrase for their own agenda, but that was not exactly because he was pro choice - it was because he did not appreciate people twisting his message to fit their own.
Horton Hears a Who was a book published in 1950s, while abortion wasnt a big deal till 1970s to my knowledge. The book was about anti conformity in the long run. With this in mind, I do not think this proves or disproves that he was pro choice, just that he doesnt like people on either side trying to push their agenda by using him as a mouthpiece, whether or not hes for it.

Suess also abused his first wife and married his mistress (the one who sued the life organization) right after she died. Not exactly a good feminist example.

Even more ironic one of his quotes was used to support the Black Lives Matter movement and he had drawn some racist cartoons in the past. Biggest irony of all was that he never had children himself yet is one of the most celebrated children's authors.Β

Um. Okay. I can have my own opinion, and don't have to listen to some dead writer's one. Thanks.

What the person who posted this stamp meant is that twisting one's words out of context is disrespectful to the person that said those words.
Dr. Seuss was referring to Japanese people after WWII.

The birth and death ratio of humans is fucking scary.
131,000,000 people are born all over the world in a year for every 55,000,000 people that die all over the world in a year.
We anti-human-life supporters and abortion supporters NEED and MUST do something to fix/flip flop this around NOW if most humans don't want a huge ass extinction, no matter the cause, to happen to us humans between now and the year 2050!!!

Wow, this argument is so well thought out and totally changes the way I think about everything. I need to turn from my evil ways and start helping people murder helpless unborn children and donate all my savings to abortion clinics that purposefully get children addicted to sex.
In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.Β

I think the point of this person's stamp wasn't too get people too switch from a Pro-Lifer too a Pro-Choicer, I'm pretty sure what they mean is that somebody should not twist another's words just too fit their ideals.

I admire your ability to read the description of a stamp before just jumping to conclusions.

Who were the little people?

The "little people" were the Japanese suffering because they were under American oppression.
Here's a crazy thought: research. Or do you think the personΒ Monica Potter was supposed to be in Patch Adams was a woman?

The average male American is 5 foot 9, the average male Jap is 5 foot 7.4. Try again.

He's not being literal, numbskull! People could be pushed around or "made small" and still be physically bigger.
Plus are you ignoring how I told you to research?

The story seemed to have a lot more power when it was taken as being pro-life. Now it's just about an old event that no one remembers or talks about.

Whatever, guess Doctor Seuss wasn't as smart as I thought he was. He should've made a book about why abortion is bad.

So because you were wrong about the message of one book, you talk down about a literary genius, part of millions of childhoods and someone who actually tried to help people?
You are scum
