This is BIG. Anti-choice activists often use Google ads to trick women into coming to their fake “clinics” that spread lies about abortion and frequently offer no actual healthcare services. http://bit.ly/2X0Ojva #ExposeFakeClinics

I was shocked, to be honest. I never expected Google to get involved. It would never have occurred to me that they would take a stand about abortion like this. It feels like a giant win.

I really need as much of this kind of news and I can get as I'm taking all the new abortion bans personally. It hurts in a way I can't explain.
