In the never-ending battles over a woman's constitutionally protected right to choose, one issue comes up again and again: the lack of information. Anti-choice extremists have done a reasonably effective job of curtailing women's access not just to safe and legal methods to terminate a pregnancy, but to the tools that make an informed choice possible.

Enter the internet.

Now, I've never had an abortion myself, or been even tangentially involved with one. Nor am I saying it's always the right choice. But it is not my choice. I'm not going to get pregnant, no matter how hard I try. That's what matters.

This could very well turn into an endless post, with a finely filigreed and nuanced analysis of the ethics involved, the costs, and the questions of God and Woman neatly addressed. That's not, however, within my scope. I'm a guy. A guy who likes guys, so this, for me, is well within the realm of the theoretical.

But for women, especially outside of New York City, who want choices, start here: Abortion Clinics Online. It's a fifty state resource, with a directory to providers, and a simple English - or Spanish, if you prefer - outline of your rights.

Coat hangers are not a method of birth control. Let's keep it that way.
