Just a member of parliament sending an ultrasound image to the deputy prime minister. Nothing to see here.
Saying you oppose unrestricted abortion of an unborn child at 12 weeks development and then voting for repeal of the constitutional right to life of that child is an act of complete contradiction. @simoncoveney pic.twitter.com/XgNpH9JhKr

How do I get newspapers in other countries to pay me to write about political issues that I haven't been paying attention to? It sounds like a sweet gig! https://t.co/B09AADatOo

Sure enough, the billboards featuring a child with Down Syndrome went up a few days later.

Fascinating that all the pro life campaigners outside Government Buildings are wearing body cameras – why? Also most seem to be American. #eighthamendment pic.twitter.com/6ZuuBsW4jj

"Campaigns that show the faces of people with Down syndrome aim to overcome the fear that leads to exclusion, marginalisation, and, in many cases, death. An advocacy group that fails to realise this has lost its way." https://t.co/ySRoTXYYym A lovely piece.

The statement came in response to an article written in The Irish Times by Fintan O’ Toole which revealed that people in the pro-life lobby group, Love Both were using an image of a child with Down syndrome on a leaflet that they were distributing.
This is truly bizarre. Kate O'Connell's speech to the Dáil appears to be, in parts, a word for word repetition of somebody else's work, delivered without crediting the original author. I believe there's a word for that kind of thing. #repealthe8th https://t.co/cD5MxeIUwo

Is @NiallODowd the speechwriter of @campaignforkate or was her speech simply plagiarised from Irish Central? Compare. https://t.co/ZJBDaM5fBM @seandefoe @gavreilly @john_mcguirk pic.twitter.com/VI9kTZvICg
