    It is not the case that Ableist social attitudes and resource scarcity are diffuse social conditions, not targeted coercions, and conflating them with rights violations dilutes the normative force of autonomy claims.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Institutions collectively produce and sustain ableist attitudes; this organized social action constitutes actionable coercion, not mere conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Denying disabled people access through systemic neglect violates autonomy as surely as explicit prohibition; intentionality is not morally required.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Excluding structural harms from rights discourse prevents accountability; societies deliberately perpetuate resource allocation favoring nondisabled people.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Rights violations require identifiable agents making choices that violate duties; systemic conditions lack this agential intentionality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Conflating structural disadvantage with rights violations weakens remedies for clear autonomy harms like coerced medical treatment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Resource scarcity affects all groups; calling it a rights violation obscures distinct questions about fair distribution mechanisms.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
