Is the iPhone 4S Anti-Abortion, Anti-Birth Control?

Siri, the built-in voice command feature on the iPhone 4S, can help you find the place you’re looking for, be it the nearest Mexican restaurant, gym, or medical marijuana clinic. Billed as a digital assistant by apple, Siri uses Internet services to look up your request, and provides answers based on your current location. But ask Siri where the nearest abortion clinic is, even if you’re standing right next to one, and she tends to draw a blank.

Disturbingly, the program’s blind spots aren’t limited to abortion, but women’s sexual health issues in general.
