Abortion Law--Pro and Con
This site was constructed to help people, regardless of their political bent, understand the background and state of abortion law in America. It provides accesss to related legal material--especially that which is less available and less well known.
Abstinence
Here's a method of birth control that can work for some people, while others become pregnant with it. Keep in mind that the most common vows that get broken tend to be those of abstinence, so maybe it's not such a bad idea to keep a couple of condoms around, just in case. This link contains a list of competent abstinence information websites.
Adoption
Are you pregnant and considering giving your baby to a loving family who is not able to have children of their own? This link is from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Resources. There are many adoption-related links on this site.
Be aware that adoption resources and websites that contain the words "crisis pregnancy" or "choose life" often have a conservative religious bent. While they may appear to encourage adoption, many of their forums clearly advocate keeping your baby, or if you absolutely must give it up, placing it with a conservative religious family. If this mirrors your own beliefs, then these may be a helpful resource for you to explore.

History of Birth Control
This resource, by Kathleen London, is on the history of birth control. Did you know that Infanticide, the killing of newborn babies, was the most universal solution to periodic overpopulation in pre-industrial societies? Or that in the 1870s, the New York Times estimated there were 200 full time abortionists in New York City and abortion safety was generally quite high?

Here are the links to Natural Family Planning sites via Ann Rose's ultimate birth control links page. While natural family planning can work quite well, this is only true if you are in a committed relationship and both of you are invested in making it work.
Planned Parenthood
This is the main site for Planned Parenthood. Regional and local offices might have their own websites, but this is hub that links to all.
Religious and Pro-Birth Control?
This site is spearheaded by Dr. Daniel Maguire who teaches moral theology and ethics. A good site to visit if you would like to see viewpoints on sex and birth control by theologians who aren't so terribly rigid or narrow-minded.
The Pope's Website
The Catholic Church has a different perspective on birth control and women's role in society. If this is something you want to explore, why not start with the Pope's own website?
