POPSBlackpool not disabled friendly.
The evidence is overwhelming. Carrying on from the woeful Labour regime, this soporific administration has done nothing for the disabled. When the National Servicemen told the Council that the organisation for their disabled members was inadequate, they were attacked. Try getting an 18 stone former regular soldier onto a bur with his wheel chair. As often as not you cannot, because their is a pram already on the bus. The Disabilities Act requires the Transport Authorities to make available disabled spaces. Only Stagecoach in this area enforces the Law and requires young adults to fold away their carriages and sit their children on their laps. I would love to be able to do this with the 18 stone gentleman, but I cannot. All the disabled ask for is their RIGHTS underwritten in Law. Unfortunately, it is not the young parent who is the pariah, but it is usually the elderly who have no conception of what it is like to be imprisoned in a wheel-chair, the problems that carers have

POPSColin Farrell tells of 'blessed' life with special needs child “Its mad the way the world works. It's bizarre. I experienced the overwhelming effect of being around those athletes pretty much just before my son was born with special needs. “I have never thought of my son as being someone with a disability. It goes back to special needs and what is a disability and what isn't”.

POPSMother seeks to have womb of severely disabled daughter, 15, removed http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/10/08/hysterectomy/index.html For the full story. It seems to me that the mother is doing whatever she can to make sure her daughter's life will not be disrupted by a process that she is not likely to understand or even ever use. If the young lady is that severely disabled then she will most likely live at home and never get married or have children, so infringing on her right to reproduce is a moot point.
