CUPERTINO, California, February 2, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Want to abort your baby? There's an app for that.
Apple has "fixed" its software, "Siri," to correctly interpret inquiries for abortion business locations.
"Siri" is an "intelligent personal assistant" on the Apple iPhone that you can use to find pretty much anything. Simply say, "Where can I get a good steak?," and the Siri software will list steakhouses near your location.
But say, "Where can I get an abortion?," and, since 2011, Siri would look up "abortion" –but because abortion facilities are deceptive in their titles (they never use the A-word, but always "Women's Health" or something similar), Siri would then respond, "I don't find any abortion clinics."
In some cases, to the horror of abortion activists, Siri would list pro-life crisis pregnancy centers, because some do have "abortion alternatives" in their title or description.
Abortionists consider a mobile app giving out crisis pregnancy centers' contact information intolerable. Planned Parenthood's Cecile Richards called it an "insidious" barrier, a "hazard," and "a threat that none of us should take lightly." She demanded that Apple "fix this immediately."
Apple explained that it was not an intentional omission and said the company will work on fixing it by more accurately categorizing abortion businesses.
Also pushing for a fix was the abortion activist organization Sea Change Program, which worked with associate professors at the University of California San Francisco to put pressure on Apple to change its search algorithm. The organization says it exists "to reduce stigma around abortions."
Last September, Apple announced its new iOS 9 software. With the new software came "Apple Nearby" for their maps, and a promise of more "relevant" search listings.
Sea Change Program and UC San Francisco associate professors sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook in November, saying, "Siri's anti-choice suggestions is [sic] alarming, and contributes [sic] to the stigma surrounding abortion care in our country."
Apple has now created a category, "Family Services," within Apple Nearby. Under "Family Services" are listed abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood.
Now the Siri software lists abortion businesses. Fast Company tested the software last month and reports that the software has indeed been amended at least in some cities.
Other issues with the Siri software included giving people suggestions about a good place to hide a dead body.
Killing babies is done in service to Satan, not families.

except they wont be “mothers”, will they?
Are abortion parties next? Like Tupperware or Avon?!Unbelievable.
Siri, where can I kill my baby?
No, they won’t be mothers, just murderers.
Back in the day, before cell phones, the only way to get information was from the yellow pages. There were many angry cries from the abortion industry to make sure “abortion alternatives” got identified properly, which when you looked at the printed page looked really weird, like somebody plastered a very sensitive politically-correct message across the backside of a plumber.
Save the baby humans.
(Apple is despicable.)
They will indeed be mothers since the moment of conception. They will be mothers of dead babies.
How does it answer “Show me the local churches”?
The big boss at Apple is the “G” in “LGBT”, so he listens to the feminazis, fearing their wrath.
“How does it answer “Show me the local churchesâ€?”
It shows them
So I just tried it for Atlanta..came up with everything but planned parenthood.
Plus the phonebook gives you abortion clinic numbers...so big deal
Not mosques? Not satanic temples? (But I repeat myself ...)
“Other issues with the Siri software included giving people suggestions about a good place to hide a dead body.”
Does Siri personally know any Siri-al killers?
“Hello, this is Siri. I’m trying to locate the best service for you. Do you want the government to pay for murdering your baby, or do you have the money to kill it yourself?”
Actually it showed 12 mosques. I asked about satanic church and believe it or not it came up with a Baptist Church in Dawsonville GA
