I disagreed with Youth Defence on a specific point on the thread below but did state they are effective in other ways. They are by no means Trad Catholics but do good work.Fr Brian McKevitt isn't a traditional priest and very much a 'new evangelisation" JPII type. Still he is to commended for the work he does. His newspaper 'Alive' is nothing special but he is priest who is one of the better conciliar types in Ireland.

Here is a report from them.
http://www.youthdefence.ie/latest-news/beautiful-closing-ceremony-at-40-days-for-life-dublin/
A large group of pro-life volunteers gathered outside of the Marie Stopes Clinic for the closing ceremony for another very successful 40 Days for Life Dublin campaign.
The campaign attracted 75 new volunteers to join an pro-life outreach outside the abortion referral agency or to offer prayers and sacrifice for the period.
Marie Stopes boasts that it sends hundreds of mothers for abortion every year, but the good news is that, thanks to the superb efforts of pro-life volunteers this year, up to seven babies and mothers may have been saved.
In a beautiful closing ceremony on Holy Thursday, pro-life activists heard from post-abortive mothers, including one woman, Mary, whose loss and hurt brought many in the crowd to tears.
Fr Brian McKevitt also led the crowd in prayer and then gave a very powerful address encouraging pro-life people to continue their witness outside the clinic.
He said that reaching out to mothers and babies with love and compassion was like being at the foot of the Cross with Christ on Calvery, and that this witness united us with the sufferings of Christ who sacrificed for our sins.
Fr McKevitt said that the conscience of the people needed to be always awakened to the evil of abortion.
Flowers were laid at Marie Stopes to remember all of the children who have been killed by abortion.
