Tell Apple: Don't Censor Sexual Health Information on the iPhone!

Did you know? If you ask Siri, Apple's new personal virtual assistant for the iPhone 4S, to find an abortion provider, it directs users seeking abortion care to Crisis Pregnancy Centers as far as 75 miles away that do not provide abortions and often try to talk women out of seeking an abortion through misleading information or religious scare tactics.

For those of us in the sexual health field, this is simply infuriating. For anyone who is genuinely trying to locate abortion care, this could result in unnecessary travel in search of medical services — only to be met with misinformation, judgment, and scorn.

For a longer exploration of Siri's MANY problematic responses to sexual health queries, read this Amplify blog post.

Please sign our petition and ask Apple to fix Siri immediately; sexual and reproductive health searches should not be blocked or censored!
