Abortion is a highly debated issue and while there are sections of society for and against it, Google will now add labels to Search and Map listings to help users when they are looking for healthcare facilities that provide abortions. The change comes in light of the US Supreme Court's decision to strip federal abortion rights. 

According to TechCrunch, Google said that if it has received confirmation that a healthcare facility provides abortions, the label for the center will say "Provides abortions".
