IN SUMMARY OF WHEN EQUAL ACCESSS ENDS, THE CHILLING TRUTH ABOUT CONSERVATIVES ANTI ADA ACTINS AND LIGHTING A FIRE
So, in summary of this week's posts, now we know why All Republican Attorneys General in the country sued a few years ago to say that The Americans With Disabilities Act should not apply to State and Locally Owned Public Buildings, even those with disabilities themselves. It is not that they do not know that without certain protections, People With Disabilities could suffer serious injury or even death, it is simply that every Conservative and certainly every Republican in the country simply DO NOT CARE if every American with any kind of Disability at all does in fact die. As Seth said, he didn't CHOOSE to be in a skiing accident and so end up in a wheelchair and unable to work for life. I didn't CHOOSE to be in a car accident, and while I was only in a wheelchair for a year, I still occasionally have some things that others can do that I cannot. Athletes do not CHOOSE to get sports related injuries. All of these things just happened. On the other hand, every Republican Attorneys General in the country DID CHOOSE to seek to get The Supreme Court to say that The Protections of The Americans With Disabilities Act should not apply to State and Locally Owned Public Buildings, and The Supreme Court DID CHOOSE to say this. In my story, John DID CHOOSE not to act to save Seth's life, and as a result Seth did in fact die, horrifically and painfully. While this specific episode was a work of fiction, things like this very well may occur if State and Locally Owned Emergency Vehicles' handicapped accommodations are not kept up, as they will not be where Republicans hold the purse strings. So, now that we know that Conservatives and particularly Republicans have no regard at all for the lives of anyone with any kind of disability at all, what can be done about it? Those that have disabilities and have family and or friends who are Conservatives can tell them how this philosophy effects them and ask them to rethink their position or else THEY may have to rethink their relationship. Those Republicans who are living with Disabilities can ask their Party to rethink its position and either change or they may have to rethink their party affiliation. But what those with disabilities and those who care about those with disabilities can not afford to do any longer is stand idly by and let The Republican Party slowly dismantle the protections of The Americans With Disabilities Act. If anyone who reads this blog post has other ideas for action, by all means take them. The only important thing is DO SOMETHING, before it's too late.
