Google will start labeling which health clinics or hospitals provide abortions when users search for reproductive care online or in maps, the California-based company announced this week.
The increase in information that the search engine plans to display for users comes after lawmakers criticized the company for featuring anti-abortion clinics — also known as crisis pregnancy centers — when people search for abortion clinics.
When users search in Google, the results will now display a disclosure high up that clearly marks whether a clinic "provides abortions" or "does not provide abortions," said Google Vice President of Government Affairs Mark Isakowitz in a letter responding to lawmakers.
