If they don't have things like access to buildings or public transportation, then theyARE denied rights that every other person enjoys. Shouldn't a blind voter have access to a braille ballot, so they can cast their vote in private like the rest of us? Since when is the acknowledgementthat we may have to make a few special accommodations for the disabled a partisan issue? How are the disabled being denied? Because they can't get up the stairs? I thought they were"handi-capable"or some other feel-good terminology. Yet their position, for the ones that shriek, they say they can do everything an able-bodied person can do. Apparently they cannot if they need a law in place that requires special accomodations. If they're "equal" to everybody else, then no government mandated handicap parking. No government mandated wheelchair ramps. No government mandated elevators. No government mandated latrines with the handles and wider stalls. Let the business owner install those of his own accord. Otherwise just admit they are inferior because they insist upon special accomodations and use the force of government to get it.
