Google misdirects one in 10 searches for abortion to ‘pregnancy crisis centers’

In US trigger states' where the procedure may soon be illegal, searchers may be sent to centers that do not actually provide care

One in 10 Google searches for abortion services in US trigger states", where the procedure is likely to become illegal if the US supreme court overturns Roe v Wade, are being misdirected to clinics known as pregnancy crisis centers" that do not actually provide care, according to a new study.

After a leak revealed the US supreme court is on the verge of overturning the landmark abortion rights law Roe v Wade, attention has turned to trigger law" states that would ban abortion immediately if the decades-old decision is undone.
