“So I hear you want to free Britney, and I just want to tell you, um, welcome to the disability revolution. We are so glad you’re here!

Do you think it’s wild that she couldn’t remove her IUD? Well, it is still currently completely legal to sterilize women with disabilities. Under law.

Do you think it’s bananas that Britney couldn’t even see her children? Well, it’s not uncommon at all. In fact, mothers with disabilities face removal rates up to 40 to 80 percent.

‘I can’t believe she couldn’t even see her own boyfriend?’ This happens all the time. It is very common for families of people with disabilities to control their relationships for them. That’s why many people with disabilities can’t actually marry. Because they can lose their benefits and their healthcare.

It’s also completely legal to electroshock children, um, if they have have a disability.

So, yes. Free Britney. But let’s also free everybody else. And let’s follow the lead of the disability rights movement, who has been shouting and fighting against these injustices for decades.”

Outrage over a specific high-visibility case that involves a person highly tied to many people’s nostalgia is not mutually exclusive to supporting disability law reform. Get the spreading awareness to result in overall change!
