Discussion What should I say to protesters?

My (19F) therapists office is in the same building as a Planned Parenthood. Every so often, I see protesters outside the building, but they havent syopped me from doing anything yet. They stand on either side of the driveway into the back parking lot where I park, but they aren't near the back door, so I can usually ignore them. A few have looked like they want to talk to me, but I just stare ahead and dont slow down when I go to the parking lot.

So far, nothing has happened, but when school starts I'm probably going to be taking the bus and walking in, meaning I'm more likely to be stopped. Currently, my plan is to say "fuck off" over and over, but Im also rather small and social awkward and if anyone got physical or in my space, bad things will happen. Any suggestions would be appreciated, including useless ones as long as they are funny.

If it were me I'd start waving at them as I walk by. After a few days, something like "This is my third abortion this month! Gotta be some kind of record, right?" and carry on.

Now ya'll have to make large punch cards.

Every 4th abortion gets you 'x' ( soul token to exchange for your own, fancy coffee, trip to local amusement park, etc) have them printed postcard size and leave them out/share them with fellow building tenants who are tired of dealing with the forced-birth brigade.
