Google to start labeling medical facilities that provide abortions to reduce confusion
CNN
Google said on Thursday it will begin prominently labeling health care facilities that offer abortion services in its search and maps products to help reduce confusion for women looking up nearby clinics that perform the procedure. The move follows pressure from Democratic lawmakers to rethink its abortion-related search results in the wake of Roe v. Wade's demise.
As part of the update, Google will use labels such as "provides abortions" and "might not provide abortions" to better distinguish results for abortion clinics, which provide medical care, and crisis pregnancy centers. The latter does not perform abortions and typically attempt to persuade people from terminating pregnancies, including by attempting to steer people seeking an abortion provider away from one.
Researchers are uncovering deeper insights into how the human brain ages and what factors may be tied to successful cognitive aging ((is successful the best word to use? seems like we’ll all do it successfully but for some people it may be healthier or gentler or slower?)), including exercising, avoiding tobacco, speaking a second language or even playing a musical instrument.
