THE WHEEL TURNS, DO NOT LET IT RUN OVER THE BROKEN
So, they didn't want to waste money on all of that junk? This from a Party and a Philosophy that calls itself "Pro Life"? I think Tomas's mother and father and friends might disagree. Of course this particular story is a work of fiction, but every time any Conservative/Republican opens their mouth on the subject of Rights for People With Disabilities, even from those of them that themselves or close family HAVE disabilities, all you hear confirms that they do in fact have no problem with people with disabilities dying needlessly, as long as everyone is treated exactly the same. Such talk will inevitably lead some with disabilities to reach the conclusion and choose the course of action that Tomas did in yesterday's story. If Republicans are fine with that, let them openly and publicly say it so that all may know them as they truly are. BUT, let The Broken' also cease to be silenced. Let everyone with any kind of Disability at all stand up and be heard that THIS KIND OF TREATMENT, REGARDLESS OF ERRORED SUPREME COURT RULINGS, IS NOT ALL RIGHT, AND WE WILL BE HEARD AND COUNTED AS FULL HUMAN BEINGS. WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. It is time to fight. Those of us with Disabilities did not seek or choose this fight, but Conservatives will keep pushing until we're all dead, either from external circumstances or because our lives feel like they are valued at zero and so by our hands, unless and until we push back. So, let us push back, push back so hard that they must yield, entirely. The wheel turns, let it not turn to the point that it rolls over everyone with a disability. Let us push back until it turns aside or even goes in reverse. For the sake of all Humanity, disabled and able bodied alike, since we are all one Human Family.
