UC Berkeley School of Public Health researchers found that four out of the five most presented webpages in response to “abortion pill” queries on Google were less than 50% accurate, in a study published Thursday.
Of the top five most presented webpages, three were anti-abortion, according to lead researcher and first-year doctoral student Betsy Pleasants. She added that these anti-abortion webpages American Pregnancy Association, Abortion Pill Rescue and Abortion Procedures had “very limited” factual and clinical information and are covertly affiliated with religious organizations.
