Is Siri Against Abortion? Apple Says No

Siri logoApple's new voice-activated assistant, Siri, is to all appearances quiet on the topic of abortions and birth control, for the time being according to a growing number of iPhone 4S users.

According to Apple, this is just a glitch. Apple spokesperson Tom Neumayr told CNET that these are "not intentional omissions meant to offend anyone, it simply means that as we bring Siri from beta to a final product, we find places where we can do better and we will in the coming weeks."

What it's worth

For what it's worth, the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs confessed to biographer Walter Isaacson that he was glad he was not the victim of abortion, and that his 23-year-old birth mother chose to give him up for adoption instead.
