Horton Hears an Abortion Protest

Posted Mar 8th 2008 8:22PM by TMZ Staff

All hell broke loose at the Hollywood premiere of "Horton Hears a Who!" today when a group of pro-lifers infiltrated the screening, then chanted anti-abortion slogans after the flick.

The theme of the movie is based on the motto: "After all, a person is a person, no matter how small." So the pro-lifers thought it was a good idea to use this theme to their advantage -- even though their complicated message was falling mostly on the ears of children.

The stars in attendance included Victoria Beckham and her three kids, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Steve Carell and all 12 contestants from "American Idol."

After the chanting ended, the group put red tape over their mouths that said "Life" on them, and paraded around the event.

Shouts of protest were returned by some in attendance, including, "This is a kid's premiere," "How dare you," and "Do you really care that much about this?"

77. What's the big deal with killing babies?

I don't know why they drawn the line at birth... a parent should be able to abort a kid until he's at least 4 yrs-old or so because they can't live on their own until at least that age.

82. Every child deserves home, and a nice bath if needed. Adopt the child out if not wanted.

83. Hint to "Mik" #31 @ 9:51... re-read the article. It was a kid's movie that these people were staging their protest at. The majority of teh people there were children.
The groups you cited protest at adult, or primarily adult events and situations. Get it?

85. Kelli...doesn't that sound a tad bit hypocritical that you got abortions because your church says birth control is wrong???? That doesn't make any sense!!!! While I am not a vocal person on the issue of abortion at all, I do think it is wrong to go get them every time you get pregnant. What's worse, getting an abortion or using a condom or birth control pill??? Seriously, you are ignorant and need some education. The only times I feel that abortions are necessary are when women are raped or when young girls are molested or impregnated at a super super young age. When you use it as a birth control method, which is essentially what you are doing, it is just WRONG.

Grow up and use a condom or even better....stop having sex. i think God will understand why you are using birth control over terminating a possible childs life.

ONCE AGAIN, I am not voicing the opinion of a pro-lifer or pro-choicer, I just think its getting out of control with ignorant girls having abortions just because they dont know how to use birth control.

89. To the pro life protestors - TMZ reports that you disgraced your cause and just helps promote America's 40M death Holocaust. Leave the trash behavior to the Libtard PETA nation as they have marched past Agnostic shacked up Hitler's 12M death count, athiest Stalin's 20M death count, onto athiest Mao's 70M death count.

To the "leave my uterus alone" hell bound libtard nation. I don't care what you do to your uterus. But if you kill a human life within you, you are selfish, unethical, immoral, uncivil, and most of all criminal. But if you manage to prevail and keep killing your little tards, we will keep winning Florida by 200 votes, giving the next Bush 8 years. It all balances out.

90. I agree, Erica...as I said, it took me all evening to try and explain to my son what those pictures were about....and this wasn't just a flyer in their hands....these were huge color signs....very clear to see, and the people were lined up the road in front of our mall....I was completely mortified by it.
