Vote-With-Your-Lady-Parts e-card Backfires Badly

The war on women went further than usual this week when an outrageous e-card that instructed women to "vote like your lady parts depend on it" caused so much outrage it had to be pulled from President Barack Obama's official Tumblr blog.

According to the Daily Mail, the e-card was posted on the Obama 2012 campaign website, but remained there for only a few hours before it became apparent that women were not pleased with the degrading message. The card, which features a woman dressed as a 1920's flapper, sparked a wave of fierce consternation.

Twitter user @EmilyMiller tweeted: "President Obama, quit worrying about my lady parts and start worrying about my wallet, OK?"

@Gabby_Hoffman wrote: "Dear Obama Re-election Campaign: I'm a woman who votes with her brain, not her lady parts. Stop denigrating us, Democrats."

Twitter user Lori Ziganto wrote: "My lady parts can't wait to hit the voting booth where I will vote using my brain. My daughter depends on it."

Within hours, the campaign had removed the card from its site.
