The Utah legislature: tough on kids in wheelchairs!

Here's another outrage from those masters of disaster known as the Utah legislature.

A new Utah law eliminates references to some service animals for the disabled - thus disallowing them in some public places. This has left many disabled residents fearing for their rights or even their ability to get a service animal at all.

Strikingly, this state law is attempting to illegally override the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was designed to protect the rights of the disabled and offers strong protections for service animals.

Lawmakers' excuse for their new law is that they claim the disabled were "abusing" the ADA. This echoes the right-wing canard that was lodged against the poor as an excuse for punitive welfare "reform."

First they came for the poor. Now they're coming for the disabled.
