I'm currently writing my position paper on Abortion for my English class. I have to include anecdotes, statistics, facts, etc. in my body to back any stance I have on the issue. Why does Google have to make life so hard?
I've been searching for about an hour and what the percentage of pregnancies were aborted during the first trimester, the percentage of deaths occuring (to the women) because of an abortion, and also, the developement of a fetus in each trimester. All three have been ridiculously difficult to find an answer for. At least, google makes it that way. It brings me random sites that have nothing to do with the topic... it's very aggrivating. So I've had to search page after page and look at a multitude of sites to find one that might have an answer for it. In addition to this, the majority of the sites I end up on always dance around the answer. Now, this is mainly for trying to find statistics, not so much for stories and facts. I hate this...

Google is an awesome resource. The big thing with it though is you need to be able to phrase your search terms correctly and initiate your search on a manner more inductive to obtaining the information you desire.
And as for actual help... Have you tried Google Scholar? A -very- nice database for more official articles and the like. More similar to higher education search engines that people use such as Proquest and the like.
