Google Maps and Search will start clearly labeling results for healthcare facilities that provide abortions, the company announced Thursday.
Why it matters: When users browse Google Search or Maps, they will be able to more clearly tell which facilities provide abortions and which may be a crisis pregnancy center or another place that does not provide abortion.
- Lawmakers have been urging Google to make such changes to keep users away from misleading results for clinics, while Republican state attorneys general have urged Google to keep crisis pregnancy centers in search results.
- Yelp announced earlier this week it will flag listings for crisis pregnancy centers, Axios previously reported.
