Hello, I have never written here before; but my husband offered to post this as I feel it will get more attention here than on my personal blog on the Obama campaign website.
Last Thursday I was excited to join a group named Abortion Providers for Obama-Biden formed at my.barackobama.com. There were already several well written, well thought out blog posts about the current status of abortion in this country. It was a chance for a group with a unique perspective on this debate to come together and support the candidate that will hopefully reverse current trends.
However I was highly disturbed to get up this morning to find out that the group has been removed. You can still go to the fundraising page. However the group page is now "invalid". What does this mean? I could still find lots of other groups up and running, even an "Abortion Opponents for Barack Obama" group. Why would a supposedly pro-choice candidate not want to encourage abortion providers to have a dialogue on his website?
I have contacted the Obama campaign about the group going missing. I got a generic "thank you for your interest but we get lots of emails" back from the campaign, but I hope that someone will eventually get an official answer about why this group was removed.
The blog page is still up as well. Please read some of the blog posts if you think I, or the group in question are trolls.
Does anyone know of any other groups that have been removed from the campaign website?
Could anyone who feels that that it is disturbing that the Obama campaign would remove a pro-choice group while leave up the abortion opponents group please contact the campaign and let them know!
Thank you!
