Yelp sues Texas to defend its labeling of crisis pregnancy centers | CNN Business::Yelp is suing Texas to ensure it can continue to tell users that crisis pregnancy centers listed on its site do not provide abortions or abortion referrals, opening a new front in the fight between states and the tech industry over abortion restrictions.
Isn’t abortion severely constrained in Texas right now? How can the state possibly complain about this label when they are actively trying to limit abortions? And how can the centers comp,ain about it when it’s factually true across the board?
Yelp’s prior label (which the State also complained about) was:
“typically provid[ing] limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.”
And while that also seems broadly accurate, all it takes is for Yelp to apply this label to the few centers that do have medical professionals on site to make the label misleading.
