Claiming that misleading search results on where to get an abortion could put women's health at risk, Congressional Democrats are urging Google to prevent searches for abortion clinics from returning results and ads which direct users to facilities that oppose the procedure.

Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Elissa Slotkin stated that if Google (GOOGLGOOGLE) does not limit anti-abortion clinics from appearing in the Google Search and Maps results for abortion services, the company should label search results to clearly show whether a clinic in its results actually provides abortions, according to a letter sent Friday to Google CEO Sundar Pichai that was signed by more than 20 lawmakers.

"Directing women towards fake clinics that traffic in misinformation and don't provide comprehensive health services is dangerous to women's health and undermines the integrity of Google's search results," the letter states.
