A U.S. government-funded medical information site that bills itself as the world's largest database on reproductive health has quietly begun to block searches on the word "abortion," concealing nearly 25,000 search results.

Under a Reagan-era policy revived by President Bush in 2001, USAID denies funding to non-governmental organizations that perform abortions, or that "actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

"We recently made all abortion terms stop words," ******* 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."
Would you say that this is a violation of 1st ammendment rights? Perhaps something similar to book burning?
Abortion is legal, and this is a federaly funded program, meaning funded by taxes. So there should be no reason for this to happen, except to fulfil some RRW agenda.
If this was a private search engine, I could see them doing this, as it would be their right to, I just don't understand how this, or the "Reagan-era Policy" is legal.
