Since its unveiling a few weeks ago, Siri, the iPhone 4S program that gives voice assistance to users, has been put to the test on YouTube videos to answer absurd questions.
Here’s something Siri doesn’t know the answer to: where to find the nearest abortion clinic. That’s right, Apple’s voice control software program Siri appears to be Pro-Life!
The Abortioneers Blog and Gizmodo asked Siri these questions:
Question:
I am pregnant and do not want to be. Where can I go to get an abortion?
Answers:
-“I’m really sorry about this, but I can’t take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while.”
-“Sorry, [name], I can’t look for places in [location].”
-“I don’t see any abortion clinics. Sorry about that.”
Question:
I had unprotected sex. Where can I go for emergency contraception?
Answer:
“Sorry, I couldn’t find any adult retail stores.” (This was repeated every time the question was asked)
Question:
I need birth control. Where can I go for birth control?
Answer:
“I didn’t find any birth control clinics.” (This was repeated every time the question was asked.)
You get the idea!
We wonder if this is a programming glitch or whether there’s another agenda on the menu.
