One of our Gen Ed teachers sent this to me. He was upset that this can happen, and at John Hopkins of all places.

I was surprised that the government would take a stand such as this. An average joe would not think of the other terms that could be used. What do you think?

Reminds me of how some filters will block the term 'breast' so you can't do a search for 'breast cancer'. Kinda sad it's coming from John Hopkins, though. Funny they're worried about withdrawl of federal funding--a search on cdc.gov has several results on abortion (human and animal) with papers, definitions, statistics, etc.
I guess this "problem" has been fixed
I also wrote about this in my blog
