jewish stuff
http://www.jewfaq.org (if its not here I wouldnt bother looking!)
also,
http://www.bje.org.au/educators/templateFolder.php?id=649&gid=4 may be of some help as well
Christian stuff you should be able to find some stuff in the resources section
http://www.boredofstudies.org/view.php?course=27
if you look around.

also www.religioustolerance.org is worth looking at

I know it may sound snide (which Im not trying to as its too late!) but if you try a search string as simple as christainity (or judaism)+abortion (or sexual ethics), you should get heaps
eg
http://www.acme.com/jef/religion_sex/
is a good comparative chart!! (doesnt give the jewish variants though but from memory, they dont)

Hope this helps and please post up sites you find as this will be a question that others ask
