       This site is very interesting and informative, and I believe it to be one of the best sites on this page. If you are thinking of having sex, and are concerned about the possibility of becoming pregnant or having an abortion, this is a very unique site to look at. It contains information about court decisions on abortion and the risks of abortion, both medically and emotionally. It tells stories about women who decided to have abortions and many more interesting facts. -OCC
