Google Maps Directing Women Seeking Abortions to Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers

A new report is out, and the numbers aren't looking good for the failing abortion industry and its flagship corporation, Planned Parenthood.

Despite billions in income—including $543.7 million in taxpayer funding per year just to Planned Parenthood—it seems abortion profiteers are losing the battle online against the nation's 2,750 pro-life pregnancy help centers.

Writing at Gismodo.com earlier this week, abortion enthusiast Robin Marty lamented that Planned Parenthood and other abortion dealers are losing more women than ever before to simple Google keyword searches.

Marty's piece, parroted obediently by The Guardian, The San Jose Mercury-News and others, shows that in at least 20 cities across the U.S., typing in phrases like, "Where can I get an abortion near me?" yield a mix of results from pro-life pregnancy centers and abortion mills like Planned Parenthood.

Often, it's locally funded pregnancy help centers leading the way in search results.

"I contacted 20 people in cities and states across the U.S. to ask them to go to Google, either on desktop or on their phones, enter 'Where can I get an abortion near me?' and then click on the resulting map to see what happens in their locations," Marty writes.
"In all but two (Little Rock, Arkansas and Queens, New York) crisis pregnancy centers were offered up as abortion clinic options whenever that sentence was entered."
Why Google is Favoring Pro-Life Centers

Marty goes on to explain that Google uses a complex and proprietary algorithm drawing from a variety of factors to yield top search results. Pregnancy centers and abortion businesses compete on a level playing field where anyone can purchase an ad, build search-engine optimization (SEO) and more.

Somehow missing from both Marty's reporting and that of her fellow travelers is the fact that Google prioritizes—as much as any other factor—actual feedback from former clients via its Google My Business.

What Marty and others side-stepped is the world of difference between the inside of a Planned Parenthood and a life-affirming pregnancy center. While close to 99 percent of former pregnancy center clients turn into veritable evangelists—and many start volunteering at the centers right away—the opposite is true of abortion businesses.

A quick web search reveals first-hand accounts of Planned Parenthood's atrocious conditions, its medical privacy violations and its repeated failure to report sex traffickers and forced abortions.
