Ripped from this reddit post here.

That number is terrifying and what’s even more terrifying is that google is able to do this with no consequences. Really makes you consider what other search results are getting skewed beyond belief

    There’s an up and coming story about these pregnancy centers in Kentucky wherein regulations are so lax that they are performing vaginal ultrasounds using expired disinfectant. Thereby exposing their patients to HPV. It has been reported to relevant medical agencies and the conclusion has been that these are not subject to normal medical regulations. The also attempted to go to medical boards about the medical practitioners who are performing these potentially dangerous procedures but ultimately there were no penalties. 72 out of 120 counties in Kentucky are without an OB-GYN so in a lot of places these centers appear to be the only options.

      That’s absolutely horrifying and showcases how little women’s health is worth to law makers.

      Absolutely disgusting! I feel for the women in Kentucky.
