What pro-choice people are you talking to, Ted...lol? I've never heard anyone say there's "no such thing" as abortion clinics. As someone else already pointed out, I've heard it rightfully said that Planned Parenthood clinics aren't abortion clinics but obviously those clinics do exist. Not many of them, but there are still a few left.

Actually, Annie, you are one of the people who have told me there's no such thing as abortion clinics. You said that there are clinics that do abortions, but only pro life people call them that. ;~D

The question is whether this was discovered by someone who wanted an abortion, or some abortion protesters trying to find targets. :~D

@bobmnu:
Even other terms were used to try and find clinics. Say "crisis pregnancy center" and you'll get directed to ... well, one of those centers that tries and makes sure people don't get abortions using underhanded methods.
Siri is also very good at thinking someone who says "I was raped" doesn't need help and turns up no results, not even a search offer. That alone should speak volumes.

So Apple has produced an application called the Siri. That is the first time I have heard about it. I think that voice understanding is very clever technology. I don't agree with abortion. In America there are abortion clinics. I am pro-life. It is interesting pro-choice people say there is no such thing as abortion clinic.

People don't normally think of abortion clinics when they are putting together information on a city. And maybe Apple thought, if they considered the issue at all, that anyone that could afford one of their phones would be intelligent enough to know how to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Guess they were wrong!

Oh, semantics! I don't know if there are any medical clinics that do ONLY abortions, but I (as someone who is pro-choice, but does not enjoy the idea of an abortion in any way) would not argue with someone who referred to a medical clinic that performed abortions as an "abortion clinic."
If a woman's gyno is also a general practitioner, but she only goes to him as a gyno, she's going to say "my gyno" and not "the general practitioner I go to for pap smears." Likewise, if young women go to a medical clinic specifically for an abortion, they would probably refer to it as an abortion clinic.
