Here are a number of links to websites I have looked at that provided information, sometimes biased, about abortion. Each link has a sentence or two describing and providing an implication of the site it belongs to.
http://www.abortionfacts.com/
This site provides information on bith sides of the abortion argument and appears to be non biased at first glance, but beware. At the bottom of the webpage there is a link to the site's sponsor, Heritage House 76, which is an organization dedicated to taking a "strong stand against abortion."
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/
Planned Parenthood is a well known resource for pregnant women, especiall young a first time mothers. Their section on abortion focuses mainly on providing information of a medical nature and ways for a woman to find out what her best option is. The site also provides information on adoption and does not argue that one is necessarily better than the other.
http://www.religioustolerance.org/abortion.htm
This is a multifaith site that expresses both sides of the abortion issue and attempts to eliminate bias. This site also gives an opening statement at the beginning of the "Abortion" section describing their own bias, or lack there of, and give the public a way to complain if they feel they have not expressed information in a non bias way.
http://www.abortionisprolife.com/
This site provides access to essays discussing the morality of abortions as well as frequently asked questions and resources and statistics, but the site itself is Pro Choice and gives its own views on controversial issues.
http://www.prolife.com/
As the name implies, this site is Pro Life. It provides links and videos to political discussions and statements from women who had abortions and now regret their decisions, as well as interviews with celebrities who are Pro Life. The site also has articles denouncing other organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
http://www.prolifeaction.org/
This site is run by the Pro Life Action League, and again, as the name implies, this site is also Pro Life and it provides information on Pro Life beliefs and rallies.
http://www.prochoice.org/
This site is run by the National Abortion Federation, an association of abortion providers in the United States and Canada who believe in a woman's right to choose. The site provides information on abortion, but does not go into detail about the arguments for and against the procedure.
http://www.naral.org/
NARAL Pro Choice America maintains this site and is mostly a poltics based organization that is dedicated to preserving a woman's right to choose and to electing Pro Choice candidates into office.
http://www.ccel.us/AbortionandtheXian.toc.html
This site is an online version of a book titled "Abortion and the Christian: What Every Believer Should Know" by John Jefferson Davis, PhD. courtesy of The Evangelical Christian Library, and argues for Pro Life values.
http://www.abortioninfo.net/facts/religion.shtml
http://www.abortioninfo.net/facts/arguments1.shtml
These two links are sections of a site that provides information on the politics and religious interpretations of abortions. However, the site on religion appears to only give quotes from the Bible and the opinions of other religious denomonations that denounce abortion. The site on politics is nearly the same as it gives only the Pro Life opinions of one man. These sites allow for readers to express differing opinions in another section called "Common Arguments."
http://www.pregnantpause.org/politics/mixing.htm
This site give information on abortion as well as euthanaisa and infanticide. It lists its companion websites with links to Pro Life Science and Technology Symposium and Greene County (Ohio) Right to Life.
http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/camille.htm
Run by the Feminist Women's Health Center, this website takes a Pro Choice stance on the issue of abortion. The link above takes you to an essay by Camille Matern that follows the history of politics and abortion. At the bottom of the page, past the bibliography, there is a sentence that states "A Pro-Choice position is the middle ground. It lets you make your decision and me make mine," summing up the site's take on the issue.
http://www.afterabortion.info/hope/arti2.htm
This site is maintained and backed by the Elliot Institute, an institute that researches the effects of abortions on women with a Pro Life stance. The article linked above deals more with the after effects of abortions, rather than the issue of aborting.
http://www.crusadeforlife.org/
Crusade for Life is an evangelical organization "Protecting Families from Abortion and Euthanasia." With an obvious Pro Life agenda, the site uses passages from religious texts to support its argument.
http://www.nrlc.org/
This is the website for the National Right to Life Committee, and as such it has a Pro Life stance on abortion. The site has links to Pro Life lterature, information on various aspects of abortion, euthanasia and other issues, and political action centers.
http://www.prochoiceresources.org/
This site, as the name implies, has a Pro Choice slant. It provides reproductive health information about birth control and abortion without a political agenda.

I checked out your link to the FWHC website. I was stuck by the audacity in their of the middle ground.
"A Pro-Choice position is the middle ground. It lets you make your decision and me make mine"
This implies that the two sides of the argument are nobody gets an abortion or everybody gets on.
Now I'm no expert in population dynamics but I'm almost certain that if everybody had to get an abortion then in about 80 years there wouldn't be anybody left to argue the legality and ethics of abortion.
Hey,
I really enjoyed reading about abortion. The one article which really had me on edge was the Abortion is Pro life...maybe it is the way I was raised but I really don't believe any of what was said on that website. It makes it sound like women would rather not have children - and they have no responsibility to do so if they don't want too. Yet, if every women just decided to not have children because it would be easier( and no doubt it would be...) then our population would die within two hundred years.
Even though I am against abortion I thought this site with an argument towards abortion could help:
