Speaking about their controversial referendum posters, Cora Sherlock, spokesperson for LoveBoth, said that she believes that unrestricted abortion has nothing to do with healthcare.
“Our first poster focuses on the development of the unborn baby and touches on key milestones at the beginning of a baby’s life," Sherlock said.
A baby's heart is beating at just three weeks in the womb. By 12 weeks the baby has a face and is starting to suck his or her thumb. Incredibly, the government's proposal wants to allow this baby's life to be ended for any reason up to this point."
"Unrestricted abortion has nothing to do with healthcare. It has nothing to do with saving lives and everything to do with ending the lives of babies in their mother's womb."
The LoveBoth poster features an ultrasound image with the caption: 'I am nine weeks old. I can yawn and kick. Don’t repeal me.'
A number of instances have been reported in which members of the public have been spotted tearing down campaign posters in an act of vandalism.
Just three months ago, Down Syndrome Ireland released a statement condemning the use of children with Down Syndrome on pamphlets and posters set to be used by the Pro-Life movement.
It's believed that the use of such a child in campaign posters is targeting those in favour of repealing the Eighth Amendment, insinuating that they are in favour of ‘screening out’ people with disabilities through abortion.
Just this week, a Maser mural which depicts a heart with the word 'Repeal' inscribed inside has been reinstated on the walls of Dublin city centre for a third time, following the removal of such twice by Dublin City Council and the Charities Regulator.Explore more on these topics:
