Google and other search engines may misdirect as many as one in 10 searches for abortion to anti-abortion “pregnancy crisis centers” in the US, according to a new study in US states where abortion is already or may soon be illegal. These centers are anti-abortion fronts, not clinics, aiming to talk you out of having an abortion. SOURCE: The Guardian, by Kari Paul, 9 June 2022
