Soon, those who search for "abortion clinics near me" will only see facilities that have been verified to provide abortions in the local search box on Google, meaning that far fewer women will be mistakenly led to "crisis pregnancy centers" that often provide misinformation. 2/4

Additionally, as our letter requested, Google says results for searches such as "abortion clinics" will "be clearly labeled as to whether the facility provides abortions." 3/4

Importantly, this isn't about silencing voices or restricting speech. It's about returning search results that accurately address a user's query and giving users information that is relevant to their searches. I appreciate @Google taking these steps to improve its services. 4/4"
