Abortion providers describe a battle to put out accurate information.
When Hana found out she was pregnant, she searched Google for "abortion clinics near me". The first result - a neutral-looking website offering a free consultation - looked like her best bet. It wasn't until the 19-year-old was walking down corridors of the north-eastern US clinic, lined with posters comparing the procedure to murder, that she realised this was not an abortion provider - its purpose was to talk her out of her decision.
Once there, Hana says, she was told, inaccurately, abortions were linked to infertility and breast cancer - and having had a Covid-19 vaccine, she might lose the pregnancy anyway, making abortion unnecessary,She was also pressured to view the ultrasound scan against her wishes. But, Whitney Chinogwenya, of MSI Reproductive Choices says, this creates a "battle of budgets", with regulated abortion clinics competing with anti-abortion clinics or unregulated pill providers for ad space on specific search terms.
In the US, UK and Ireland, anyone running an ad mentioning abortion must first apply for a certificate.
