"would Google etc even know if it was in relation to an investigation on abortion vs say grand theft auto?"
Well, if GPS data is included, and it shows a person parked in the carpark (or the vicinity of) a place known to carry out said procedure, it could be used to incriminate that the person was at that location. Better yet if the GPS works indoors and, oh look, we can tell within a five to twenty metre range what part of the building you went to.
So, protip ladies: learn to read a map and leave the tech at home. Don't simply switch it off, but don't take it, period. If you think you might need access to a phone in case of emergency (a single woman making a journey like that...) then pick up one of those cheap little voice&text only phones, and leave the battery out until and unless you actually need it. Remember when a bunch of delusional men screamed Witches! and murdered innocent women? Well, it's the same old tired story, only this time they'll be screaming Babies!. So do not take with you anything that could provide location information to unknown third parties. No smartphone, no GPS, and keep any dumbphone unpowered until needed (otherwise it will ping cells to keep an active service and this could be used to locate you).
