Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for the disabled

This is the exact thing the OP is talking about. Telling people they need to go out and fight, putting their lives on the line when you don't know their situation.
Self defense is not an ablest concept, it's one of the natural response to being threatened, and it's not limited to getting and using weapons. Ever heard of fight or flight? Fighting in a threatening situation is self defense and implying disabled people are helpless and can't fight is insulting.
