  How is this helpful?

  It seems that everyone associates pro-life with evangelicals and pro-choice with everyone else. Both sides continue to describe one another with sweeping generalizations. Neither side has ever truly listened to one another and it is the voice of the extremist which dominate the debate. I personally don't agree with abortion, but I don't think it is my right to make that decision for anyone else...and crazy as it sounds, I actually believe in Jesus.

  What I feel is missing is the intelligent and rational discussion. My wife was on the board of a CPC for several years and during her time with the organization they never once abandoned a girl who after being exposed to and understanding all aspects of their choice decided to go through with an abortion. Sure, they were saddened, but they truly loved these girls...unconditionally. There was and understanding that people are people not projects.

  I agree there are groups whose tactics are wrong and those groups should be dealt with accordingly, but this alarmist propaganda demonizes all CPC's in one fail swoop.

  Is it just me or does the author seem upset that abortion minded girls change their mind? Being Pro-Choice is she equally upset when abortion clinics don't present all options to its potential clients. What is the real story?

  One more thing...

  It should be affordable to as many as humanly possible. It seems as if we have to pay extra to be socially and environmentally conscious.

  Social Design is...

  those things we create that consider issues beyond the bottom line. It is design with attention paid to environmental impact, labor practices, and the common good. Social design isn't extravagant, it is just enough, it is witty, fun, and practical. It encourages a response through how it looks or how it is used. It promotes community rather than further detatchment from the world around us.
