maybe.....but if memory serves (it is early and who knows about that...) wheelchair ramps were advocated and implemented as civil rights matters --which has to do with equal protection and what it means---and so were not presented as involving a moral question.
i am not saying that these issues *cannot* be seen as moral--just that they typically are not framed that way, particularly not if groups are trying to get legislation actually passed. same reason as i have been talking about here explains it--tactical considerations preclude the usage of that language.
the issues where this language continues to operate are generally among the most polarizing politically.
a side note: i took the right/wrong question from the logic of your post rather than from its contents---i dont think i misrepresented your position in it, but since i cant reach around the post and see into your mind, maybe i did.
