Not that it is surprising at all but is still shocking. Looking for reproductive health info? 'Popline' which is run by Johns Hopkins and is self described as "Your connection to the world's reproductive health literature" blocks searches for the term 'abortion', while 'abstinence' retrieves almost 4000 articles. 'contraception' never returns a result page for me, whereas 'abortion' blatantly says there are zero articles. May be a bug or by design, who knows. Either way people are not getting all the information at hand when making some pretty big decisions.

Waaaaaayyyy back in 2002, the CDC had to remove all mention of condoms from contraception literature.

I love it.
