The group of 21 Democratic members of Congress sent a letter Friday, June 17, to Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google parent Alphabet Inc.

The lawmakers cited recent data from The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which found one in 10 abortion search results led to anti-abortion clinics, which often bill themselves as "pregnancy resource centers" or "crisis pregnancy centers."The CCDH tested their searches in so-called "trigger law" states.

These states are where such laws are enacted or where pre-Roe v. Wade abortion bans have been kept on the books that could be "triggered" and enforced if the Supreme Court upends the 1973 decision that legalized abortion, as a draft opinion suggests it may in the coming weeks.The anti-abortion clinics in question are often nonprofits that are typically religiously affiliated and counsel clients against having an abortion as part of their free but limited services.
