Google will start adding clear labels to Search and Map listings for healthcare facilities that provide abortions. The change comes in light of the Supreme Court’s decision to strip federal abortion rights. The company said on Thursday that if it has received confirmation that a healthcare facility provides abortions, the label for the center will say “Provides abortions.” In cases where Google doesn’t have that confirmation, the label for relevant searches will say “Might not provide abortions.”
Today’s announcement comes as U.S. lawmakers have urged Google to fix abortion searches that navigate people to fake clinics and crisis pregnancy centers that steer people away from abortions.
