The fact that Google collects information that can be subpoenaed is NOT the top risk here. Not even close.
It is the fact that if you search for anything abortion related, the top search results are dominated by fake abortion clinics. Who far outnumber real ones. A woman won't know that it is fake until after she has provided them with all of the information that she shouldn't have. And since they AREN'T licensed medical facilities, they have no requirement to keep her data private. For example in Texas they can immediately turn her information over to law enforcement to collect the reward for turning in someone who is trying to get an abortion.
If Google can figure out which clinics are fake and get them off their site (including not letting them advertise), that would do a LOT to help.

It is frankly insane to me that the ones claiming the highest moral ground created a vigilante system driven by ruining people's lives when they are at their most vulnerable.
