Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Yelp Inc for allegedly misleading consumers by posting notices on its business review website that crisis pregnancy centers provide limited medical services. In response, Yelp preemptively sued Paxton in an effort to defend its actions. The lawsuit comes after Yelp began posting notices on crisis pregnancy centers' pages stating that they typically provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite. Paxton argues that this misrepresentation dissuades consumers from visiting these clinics in favor of clinics that perform abortion services.
