Google Maps and Search will now explicitly label healthcare facilities that provide abortion services, TechCrunch <\/em>reported<\/a>. It\u2019s another change made in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em> and end federal protection for abortion. <\/p>\n

Searching \u201cabortion clinics near me\u201d will now let users see which places are confirmed to offer abortion services. If Google doesn\u2019t have confirmation, the label will read \u201cmight not provide abortions.\u201d If there aren\u2019t results nearby, it\u2019ll give an option to expand the search to farther away.<\/p>\n

The move comes after a Bloomberg<\/em> report that Google Maps shows crisis pregnancy centers<\/a> \u2014 which do not provide abortions and often distribute misinformation about the safe medical procedure \u2014 when someone searches for abortion clinics. Analysis from other groups had similar findings: the Center for Countering Digital Hate, for example, found that 37 percent<\/a> of Google Maps searches around abortion directed people to anti-abortion clinics. <\/p>\n

Google\u2019s new approach does not flag or limit searches for crisis pregnancy centers specifically, which US lawmakers asked for in a letter in June<\/a>. Yelp took that step, announcing Tuesday that it would add a notice<\/a> to crisis pregnancy centers alerting users that they might provide \u201climited medical services.\u201d <\/p>\n

Google\u2019s labeling system will also apply to other facilities that offer specialized services, like veterans hospitals. \u201cWe\u2019re now rolling out an update that makes it easier for people to find places that offer the services they\u2019ve searched for, or broaden their results to see more options,\u201d an unnamed Google spokesperson said in a statement to TechCrunch<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
