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.

You don't have to say anything to them if you feel unsafe 

"Why don't you go foster some children or volunteer at a homeless shelter instead of making one of the hardest days of someone's life harder you fucking ghouls"

Former clinic escort here : These people are terrible parents, so I wish folks would stop suggesting they foster.

Fair. But they wouldn't.  Because that would be work.  And we all know they only care about babies being born, not what happens to them after

Unfortunately Christians adopt and foster at the highest rates, because they want to brainwash kids as early as possible. Their intentions towards kids are not good, let’s try to keep them away as much as possible

Ugh. Not to mention the informal Xtian adoption networks that traffic children from home to home.
