By Daily Mail Reporter UPDATED: 04:07 EST, 2 December 2011 Apple today insisted that its iPhone voice activation app is 'pro-life' and that refusal to find abortion clinics is merely a technical glitch. The technology giant had under fire from American civil liberty campaigners after bloggers testing out Siri discovered it replies blankly when asked for information on terminations and birth control. The omission stood in contrast to iPhone 4GS users  who got responses when asking for phone numbers of the nearest shooting range. But Apple today insisted, it was not a political stance. 'These are not intentional omissions meant to offend anyone,' a spokesman told the New York Times.
