    Well I guess the answer is clear then if you feel that way - report them to the Gardai.

    Has anyone reported them?

    It's the fact that they are clearly there deliberately. They are targeting/focusing on the building and the people going in, even though they might not be doing anything very extreme, it's clear that their attention is on the place.
    Anyone else you pass is going about their own business just like you or I. Other people on the street usually have no interest in the rest of us and most importantly, don't know what we are doing and don't stand watching the buildings we use.

    And it's not like religious zealots have a history of extremism or anything.....:rolleyes:

    As much as I don't agree with these protesters, unless I'm mistaken, I don't think that these are regular vigils. I thought it was only once or twice a year they showed up? if it's on a more regular basis than I do believe that is cause for concern.

    I reported them at one stage two years ago when they had bussed a whole load of youth defencers in from Dublin. There was a huge mob outside the family planning clinic and it was causing obstruction and was extremely intimidating.

    I also regularly report Youth Defence stalls to the shops they choose to put their stalls up outside. I presume that is why they haven't been seen outside Brown Thomas for a number of years. Their images of miscarried babies that they put up are extremely offensive and potentially very upsetting for parents whom have suffered such a loss.

    Are Youth Defence the ones that hand out leaflets on the street?
    Whoever they are, they tried to push one into my hands while I was walking past with a young girl. Not happy about that at all.

    Pictures of a few zygotes. What's so offensive?

    ....It's a pity that these men don't care more about the living then they do zygotes.

    Youth defence pictures usually feature fully developed foetus's. Abortions performed at this stage are extremely rare and are usually carried out because the child is still born.

    I'm not having this debate with you here. There are plenty of other threads on more appropriate forum having these discussions.

    I have reported them. I have also reported the pro-life people who decided to stand outside BT's with large pictures of dead foetus. This kind of judgement on womens decisions in life is not appropriate on our streets.
