Happily, this has been swiftly fixed:

        Overreaction to Bush Administration Complaint Prompted Block on 'Abortion' Searches
        http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/04/administrators.html

which reads in part:

        "I could not disagree more strongly with this decision, and I
        have directed that the Popline administrators restore 'abortion'
        as a search term immediately," said Michael J. Klag, the school's
        dean in a statement issued on Friday. "I will also launch an
        inquiry to determine why this change occurred. The Johns Hopkins
        Bloomberg School of Public Health is dedicated to the advancement
        and dissemination of knowledge and not its restriction."
