– *Save the 8th has launched a new campaign
<https://www.save8.ie/save_the_8th_releases_new_online_promotion_12_weeks>
focusing
on the humanity of the unborn child. The new campaign shows social media
users a video of a scan of an unborn baby at 12 weeks gestation, and asks
them if the unborn child is deserving of constitutional rights.*

*Clump of cells?*

Save the 8th's Niamh Ui Bhriain said: "It is important that this debate is
informed and that people have access to basic information. The Government
is asking us to legalise abortion for any reason up to three months. In
effect, the legislation proposed says that these babies are not human at
all, and will have no rights.

"*The scan shows clearly a developing child, with identifiable form of a
human being, moving and kicking inside the womb. The Irish people are being
asked to give their approval for a proposal that would allow such children
to be legally killed.* *Many people **believe that at 12 weeks, they are
voting on 'a clump of cells'.* The simplest look at a* 12 week scan proves
this to be untrue."*

*Information changes minds*

Data from elsewhere has shown that *providing information like this can
have a huge affect **on perceptions* *of abortion. *A ComRes poll
<https://www.spuc.org.uk/news/news-stories/2018/february/poll-shows-scottish-government-at-odds-with-public-on-abortion>,
carried out on behalf of SPUC Scotland, found that when 18-34 year olds
were shown a picture of a foetus at 12 weeks, and told that it has pain
receptors, there was a 20% jump in those saying that abortion should never
be available.

*Inform the electorate*

Save The 8th says t*his information should be made available to the wider
public. "A fully informed debate *need not show graphic images, or
upsetting images. But it *should show, at a very basic level, what a child
in the womb at that age looks like.* Every mother who has had a child in
the modern era has seen one of these scans – but most voters have not..*.We
are calling on RTE and TV3 to include a video of such a scan in their
television coverage of **the referendum* *campaign.* If they want a fully
informed electorate, they will do so."

*Betrayal of the disabled*

Elsewhere, Inclusion Ireland, the national association for people with an
intellectual disability,  joined forces with the Together For Yes campaign
<https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/abortion-will-be-won-60-40-says-minister-save-the-8th-begins-12-weeks-campaign-837576.html>,
saying that abortion is needed for women with disabilities.

Their spokesman made no mention of *how the disabled are disproportionately
targeted for abortion *in other jurisdictions, something which was highlighted
by a number of bishops
<https://www.spuc.org.uk/news/news-stories/2018/april/irish-bishops-warn-of-eugenics-euthanasia-and-abortion-culture>
over
the weekend. For instance, *another billboard campaign
<https://www.save8.ie/abortion_and_disability> features three-year old
Joseph Cronin, a Donegal boy with Down syndrome, and the fact that 90% of
babies with the condition have their lives ended before birth in
Britain.* Health
minister Simon Harris also warned campaigners
<https://www.spuc.org.uk/news/news-stories/2018/january/dont-make-disability-an-issue-says-irish-health-minister>
not
to make disability an issue in the referendum.
