“Siri, the iPhone 4S voice-activated ‘assistant,’ is being accused of wanting to prevent abortions by giving obscure answers to users searching for abortion clinics, leading to speculation that Steve Jobs, who confessed he was glad to not have been a victim of abortion, might have intentionally made the programing ‘glitch.’” Is the iPhone’s ‘Siri’ Really Trying to Prevent Abortions?
