ABUSE REGISTRY--Eleanor Douglas, who suffers from cerebral palsy, gestures as she questions Sen. Bob Spada, R-Parma Heights, during a news conference where Spada and Gov. Bob Taft announced proposed legislation aimed at protecting the disabled, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 13, 1999.
