An e-card that instructed women to 'vote like your lady parts depend on it' has been pulled from President Barack Obama's official Tumblr blog.
The e-card, which featured an image of a woman dressed in a 1920's flapper outfit reaching an arm in the air next to the controversial slogan, went viral on conservative blogs after a screen grab of it was posted online yesterday.
But within hours, the blue card had disappeared from the Obama 2012 campaign website.
The e-card sparked a backlash from republicans who took to Twitter in droves to lambast its 'misogynistic' message.
David Burge said: 'Nothing says 'pro-woman' like treating female voters as hysterical brain-damaged walking uteri.'
@Sevenlayercake said: 'Dear @BarackObama's Tumblr: I vote with my brain and not with my 'lady parts.' Seriously WTF?'
Kevin Eder @keder said: Leftists want black people to vote with their skin and women to vote with their lady parts. Who gets to vote with their brain?
Lori Ziganto said: My lady parts can't wait to hit the voting booth. Where I will vote with my brain. My daughter depends on it.
Gabriella Hoffman said: ...stop denigrating us, Democrats!
Datari-Isham said: Dems so disrespectful towards women. Bill linton is their sexual assaulting idol, and vagina costumes their uniform...
EmilyMiller tweeted: 'President Obama, quit worrying about my lady parts and start worrying about my wallet, OK?'
ezradulis tweeted: 'Obama appeases nations that literally cut up lady parts.'
ezradulis tweeted: 'Hi @Barack Obama: maybe you should rethink giving $450 million to Egypt, where female genital mutilation is still practiced.'
