“Most of the stuff in this store is made by slave labor in a country that forces women to have abortions. Maybe their moral stance is a little misdirected regarding birth control.”

I know that’s wordy for a sign. I’ve never been good with succinct.

I was impressed earlier with your righteous indignation, wasn’t I? I do believe I retract that.

As for the OP, howzabout something simple?

“Crafty Uterus’ Shop at Michaels!”

I like to go to random protests with the following sign:

What do we want?

Time Travel!

When do we want it?

It’s irrelevant!

Walk around with a sign that says “It’s all Obama’s fault”.

Then when you get interviewed (presumably by the local Fox affiliate) explain that you’re opposed to the way the Obama administration is allowing its corporate cronies like Hobby Lobby to be exempt from the laws passed by Congress.

Say that as a conservative you support the law being enforced the same for everyone and oppose the way special interests can get special treatment. And that as a devout Christian you resent the way corporations are mocking your faith.

With a little luck, you can start a groundswell and within a month we’ll have Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly denouncing Hobby Lobby.
