The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has restored the word "abortion" as an acceptable search term on a reproductive health Web site that's funded by the government.
The restriction on searches about abortion drew criticism from some health advocates and librarians who called it censorship.
After learning that the word "abortion" was being ignored by the site's search engine, the dean of the Bloomberg school ordered it restored. Doctor Michael Klag says he'll be asking questions about why the decision was made to limit searches.
The site, known as POPLINE, is funded by the United States Agency for International Development.
