Nope.

Siri primarily gets results from Yelp and Wolfram Alpha.
anything that isn't easily found there get a quick Google.

the problem is parsing. Siri has to be able to figure out what you're asking for - and if that's not easily found via the first two, it gets a bit stuck.
asking for Planned Parenthood, which is there in the Yelp directory, gets an instant accurate answer.
