US GOVT CENSORSHIP: U.S. Funded Health Search Engine [POPLINE] Blocks ‘Abortion’

“We recently made all abortion terms stop words,” [Debbie] Dickson wrote in a note to Gloria Won, the UCSF medical center librarian making the inquiry. “As a federally funded project, we decided this was best for now.”

Taking a fucking stand Johns Hopkins! Sheesh. Disgusting.

Update: That didn’t take long:

A prominent public health school has restored the word “abortion” as an acceptable search term on a reproductive health Web site funded by a federal agency that restricts references to abortions.
