After facing backlash from Democratic lawmakers who said the site was directing those seeking abortions to crisis pregnancy centers that discourage the procedure, the sites pledged to more clearly label whether medical centers that are listed in their search results offer abortions.
There is a application on the phone.
When someone searches for an abortion facility, local search results will only show providers that the company has verified to offer abortions, though people can still look at other listings.
While uncomfirmed places will say "might not provide abortions", if a facility is verified, it will affix a label like "providing abortions" in search results.
The company uses authoritative data sources and calls businesses to confirm if a health care facility provides abortions.
The company has been working on more useful ways to display the results.
A new label will be used by Yelp to indicate if businesses on the site are crisis pregnancy centers, which don't offer abortions and often encourage people not to.
The company has been working to better categorize the results pages of crisis pregnancy centers in order to differentiate them from healthcare providers.
A group of 21 Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to Google in June asking the company to correct misleading search results that direct people seeking abortions to crisis pregnancies centers. The letter cited research from the Center for Countering Digital Hate that found that almost all abortions are banned in certain states. crisis pregnancy centers make up 25% of the top 10 search results on average across all states, according to a new analysis. More than 500 businesses have been re-categorized and over 30,000 pages have been evaluated to make sure search results are accurate.
If a healthcare facility provides abortions, you will be able to find it on search and maps.
