The 8th - Repealed!

Except they have been doing exactly that. The Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in Ireland have come out with fact based evidence supporting repeal, along with the Psychology Society of Ireland who have released fact based evidence regarding the psychology surrounding the 8th itself and the impact that it has on women's mental health. Both the Masters of the Rotunda and the NMH have also called for a repeal of the 8th and over 1200 doctors have pledged their support for repeal. There is plenty of fact-based research that the Yes side has provided, but the No side have been shown to be peddling half-truths when it comes to dealing with facts and have resorted to crass behaviour (picketing Maternity hospitals and using people with Downs Syndrome on their posters when asked not to https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/plea-to-leave-down-syndrome-out-of-campaign-470524.html)  

But the campaign is not just confined to posters. Canvassing, social media, talks etc are the better outlets pushing these messages

The No campaigners I have seen are all generally a older generation . They probably are retired and better organised with more time on their hands to be out on the street . They are using  online stuff aswell but it seems to be actual people distributing leaflets , knocking on doors and putting up posters.The only side of the yes campaign seems to be online preaching , and alot of this preaching is only done for fishing for Likes on FB 

That interview with dunphy? Shameful 

It depends on the various elements of the campaign. Large portions of the Yes Campaign have been fact based. But there are the more rogue elements who have actually fallen into the trap of making it an "us v them" argument with the No Camp. Essentially, they are more interested in the No Camp losing, as opposed to the Yes Camp winning.

I have always seen some pretty poor form on social media in terms of what is being shared. An example is one of those memes with pictures of four brains ranging from the small brain in the first column to a large brain radiating truth and understanding in the last. The first brain obviously being against repeal, all the way up to the second from last one representing a desire to repeal based on the the legal and medical impairment the 8th Amendment causes. However, the final photo, which clearly is meant to represent the most enlightened brain actually appears to place dogs on a higher rank than unborn children. There have been elements of the campaign who have actually been quite dismissive of the unborn life, and this was the nadir. I was amazed to see people actually sharing such an awful meme.
