Yelp Flags Crisis Pregnancy Centers to Warn Women
To Hell with Yelp.
Yelp is adding a prominent consumer notice to crisis pregnancy center listings to more clearly distinguish them from clinics that provide abortion services, in a policy change shared first with Axios.
Yelp’s move is the latest tech-company response to a post-Roe world in which abortion information has become a significant online battleground, with both sides of the debate applying intense pressure.
Starting today, Yelp will add a consumer notice to both faith-based and non-faith-based crisis pregnancy centers noting that they “provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.
“It’s the latest in a series of moved Yelp has made since 2018, when CEO Jeremy Stoppelman directed the company to make sure crisis pregnancy centers were differentiated from abortion clinics in the company’s listings.
Yelp has since recategorized thousands of service providers as crisis pregnancy centers.
Here’s an example of what Yelp is doing to “warn” women.
Sooooo…what about Planned Parenthoods that also “provide limited services?”
A crisis pregnancy center helps a pregnant woman emotionally, physically, and yes, even financially by setting them up with job training providers and homes for pregnant women.
But they’re the problem because they don’t offer abortions.
You see, abortion is the default. If you’re planning to actually help women handle a “Crisis Pregnancy” you are dissuaded from seeing a “Crisis Pregnancy Center.” No, the path you must be shown is to an abortionist. The people who will actually provide care for the women are scorned while the people who take scalpels to them are lionized, funded, and promoted.
Sick sick sick world.
How about a warning that abortion providers don’t actually help women? They hurt women for profit.
