agreed there is a double standard but I don't think it is based entirely 
on scripture I think it is more a personal preference not a conviction.

And there are wonderful examples of Christians who were willing to stand up and be counted as standing for the rights of others.  And even now, there are certainly Christians who get involved with political groups because of abortion, etc.  But why is it that when Christians with disabilities want to make things better for tmemselves and other folks with disabilities, it is so often viewed as wrong.  I don't quite get that.  It just seems like there is a double standard.    Blessings,    Debby
