Pro-choice protest sign ideas?

So every year on Good Friday this mostly Catholic group has a anti-choice protest outside one of our hospitals that provides abortion. And there's a pro-choice counterprotest, normally we don't get big numbers but I think this year we're a lot more organized and ahead of the game, so hopefully this'll be the year we outnumber them XD

Anyway, I'm trying to come up with protest signs. So far I like "I asked God, She's pro-choice." "If you're pro-life, why aren't you protesting: Militarization? War? Colonialism? Racism? Poverty?" And I might have been trying to come up with a clever "I got 99 problems and the Pope ain't one" >.> I might also do something with the statistic that Catholics have just as many abortions as anyone else, but I feel like I should keep it short and sweet.

Anyone have suggestions? Favourites?

Because pre-marital sex is what they really have a problem with.

Yeah, every sperm is sacred, be fruitful and multiply and all that jazz. Don't think that would work with a Catholic group.

My friend is going with "Not every ejaculation needs a name."

Catholicism is against abortion because it limits the number of children they get to molest.

I BEG you to make that sign. Please, Saya.

I've been thinking of making a sign similar to that, "I won't take reproductive advice from a celibate ex-Nazi who hid child molesters" or something along those lines.

Actually, the renegade option is to punch the other protesters in the face. I know my bioware.

I shot Kaiden in the gut. It was the only time I ever felt like it was a bad guy thing. Renegades aren't really bad guys.

That's what I liked about Mass Effect's paragon/renegade dialogue. It wasn't really good/evil, because, for the most part, you could justify either one of the options.

The Old Republic really annoys me about that. It's specifically good/evil most of the time, and I hate how douche baggy some of the options are. I don't really mind on my Sith character because I can understand how they think, but it made absolutely no sense for my bounty hunter. I found myself picking the dark side dialogue options, not because I felt they were appropriate or interesting, but because the game specifically has mechanics that reward characters that are far enough into one side of the spectrum. I'd miss out if I picked and chose. /rant and derail.

Good luck, Saya, with the protest.
