It is coercive for disabled people to be asked over and over again: “Do you want a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Order?”.Nondisabled people are asked once. Disabled people are asked repeatedly. It is devaluation. It is ableism.

Deleting or canceling disabled people, about 25% of the population, is vile ableism. Disabled people are humanity. Disabled people have value. Disabled people do matter.
Surveys, other federal data products tracking people w disabilities have been deleted or canceled too. State Dept is removing all references to people with disabilities from dept's annual human rights report. Again if these facts aren't documented, easier to pretend they don't

Ableist language is not harmless. It is a lack of empathy, the attribution of inferiority and an expression of cruelty.
