Almost everyone I know that has an iPhone 4S has upgraded or purchased it full price for Siri, your personal assistant on your iPhone. She is able to get you the weather forecast of a particular city to helping you set up reminders/appointments to even directions to nearby restaurants, but one thing it won't give you directions for is an abortion clinic. Numerous groups and blogs have taken it upon themselves to bring it to Apple's attention that Siri is able to produce an answer when asked where the nearest drugstore was to buy protection, but was unable to produce an answer when asked about a abortion clinic. Apple claims that this is not intentional and they aren't setting up a anti-choice agenda, its just simply the product going from beta phase to final phase and it is bound to not have the answer to everything. I found it interesting that people would bring it up, and personally, I do not see the big fuss about Siri not being able to find a nearby abortion clinic; but that's just my personal opinion and others are bound and will most likely have other opinions also.
