It's an awful reason, really.
Some jerk posted (paraphrased) about how Vanessa isn't a good person because she has kids out of wedlock. Another of Vanessa's friends commented that she had a tough choice to make and could have just as easily chosen to terminate her pregancy. She also called the other poster judgmental. Then Elizabeth, the photographer, poster her "motherly advice" blog entry and removed comments all together. This was when the vote meter went away as well.
Jerks.
Vanessa - don't listen to a word they said! they're total jerks.
