"If Siri can inform us about Viagra, it should not give dire or no data about contraceptives or abortion care."

Apple utilized a numbers of online resources to locate for information and relies largely on evaluation website Yelp for local businesses.

''Our clients desire to utilize Siri to locate all kinds of information and while it can locate a lot, it doesn't far ever find what you want,'' Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said.

''These are not planned blunders meant to offend everybody, it merely means that, as we bring Siri from beta to a ultimate product, we find locations where we can do good, and we will in the coming weeks.''
