SAN FRANCISCO (LifeSiteNews) — Crowd-source business review platform Yelp, which earlier this year announced it would pay employees’ abortion-related travel expenses, has now begun slapping consumer notice labels on pro-life pregnancy centers as of Tuesday.

The San Francisco-based company announced the move in an exclusive interview with Axios on August 23.

According to the report, Yelp is now flagging both faith-based and non-faith-based crisis pregnancy centers by adding a label telling users that the organizations “provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.”

Axios noted that the decision is “the latest in a series of move[s] 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.”

WOW: in a post Roe world, where it is harder for women to get abortions, Yelp is actively turning women away from crisis pregnancy centers that would offer them help, assistance, and empower them to carry their unborn child to term. https://t.co/qYGBpa7Grs
