I wonder if you’d get the same results if you queried “bomb factories.” Minus the Baptist Church ...
Agreed.
The irony is that there remains such a stigma associated with “abortion” that it was the desire of the abortion industry to soften the language it uses to describe itself (”Woman’s Health Services”) that caused the problems and required the rewriting of the search algorithm into something more complex than it needed to be.
The fact that the abortion industry refuses to identify itself for what it is happens to be very telling ...
knowing our govm’t they would show up at my office looking for a white conservative terrorist with in an hour of the query

They'll be mothers who killed their babies.

I don't think that Apple is the organization that has actually done this.
Apple contracts with third parties to provide the data for Siri and Maps. Currently Apple uses Yelp, Bing, Tom-Tom, and Wofram Alpha under license as the search engines to provide the data for Siri and Apple Maps core information. Apple itself is not going to create a category of "family services" for abortion services. That comes from these database services.
I am curious how any organization with "abortion" in its name or its meta-data can be excluded from the search engines. Many of the pro-life agencies who offer abortion alternatives do indeed use the word in their names, and certainly use it in their literature, on their web pages, and in their meta data that a web crawler would identify.
This implies that any exclusionary blacklisting has to have been done proactively, and retro-actively after the search engines found the locations, by humans deliberately removing these organizations from the search engine databases for political reasons. . . Censorship and restraint of trade. Typical Left-wing prohibition behavior where they claim to be "Pro-Choice" but only when that choice is to choose abortion.
Cupertino....liberal drones
No God
True of most tech
I bet in the 50s you could find most Skunkworks or Bell Labs or NASA nerds sitting in church with their families
Now most tech is God deniers and top management anti Christian
