GOP lawmakers demand Google stop censoring Live Action’s abortion pill reversal ads

(Live Action) – Since mid-September, U.S. legislators have demanded action against tech giant Google’s censorship of ads offering help to women seeking to reverse the effects of the abortion pill through use of a protocol known as abortion pill reversal (APR).

Based on an attack campaign laden with falsehoods and misinformation from a group calling itself the Center for Countering Digital Hate, Google removed the paid ads from Live Action that pointed women to Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Reversal hotline.

Abortion pill reversal involves administering the natural pregnancy hormone progesterone to counteract the effects of mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion pill regimen, which is a progesterone blocker.

Now, a group of U.S. Senators and Representatives have sent another letter to Google, following the corporation’s unsatisfactory response to the first letter. Instead of reinstating the ads, Google doubled down on its decision to continue censoring ads that offer a potentially lifesaving protocol to women.
