March for Life Sign-making Ideas - Pro-life Signs for Latter-day Saints

The March for Life is this week! If you don’t already have pro-life merch or signs ordered, it’s probably too late. But it’s not too late to make your own sign! And a sign is one of the best ways to maximize your impact as you march for life.

Top 5 March for Life Sign Ideas (for Latter-day Saints)

1. Artwork

For the creatives out there—break out the markers or paints! The sky’s the limit. You can draw pictures of:

• Babies, of course! (born or preborn)

• Pregnant mothers or parents with their baby

• Baby feet or hands (bonus points if you have a real baby you can use to make real foot- or handprints!)

• Temples (to emphasize the Church you belong to)

• Eye-catching designs to emphasize a written message

2. Scriptures and religious quotes

God’s words bring a special power and authority, and you can’t go wrong using His words to share a pro-life message. You can search our Doctrinal Library for hundreds of ideas, but here are some top picks:

• “Thou shalt not … kill, nor do anything like unto it” (Doctrine and Covenants 59:6)

• “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” (Psalm 127:3)

• “Now, as a servant of the Lord, I dutifully warn those who advocate and practice abortion that they incur the wrath of Almighty God” (Russell M. Nelson)

• “Human life is a sacred gift from God.” (Gospel Topics: Abortion)

• “We affirm the sanctity of life” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)

• “Children are entitled to birth” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)

• “Abortion is an evil, stark and real and repugnant” (Gordon B. Hinckley)

• “My life is a gift; my life has a plan.” (“I Will Follow God’s Plan”)

• “Families can be together forever” (“Families Can Be Together Forever”)

• “I am a child of God” (“I Am a Child of God”)

TIP: Use as few words as possible so people can actually read your sign!

3. Testimonies

A brief story or testimony can touch hearts in unique ways. You can share a short sentence about why you’re grateful you’re alive, or why you know preborn life is sacred. Consider writing about:

• “I’m a pro-life _____” (fill in something else you can identify as: Latter-day Saint, doctor or nurse, woman, etc.)

• Why you’re glad you’re alive (e.g., “I’m glad my mom chose life”, “my mom became a teen mom. Thank you, mom”, etc.)

• Why you know preborn life is sacred (e.g., “I had a miscarriage. My baby mattered”)

• Your experience becoming a parent (e.g., “I’m a single mom. My son is a gift!”, “I’m a dad of X kids. I will protect them”)

• Your experience around abortion (e.g., “I regret my abortion”, “I lost my child/sibling/grandchild to abortion”)

• Your testimony of God’s word and His plan for His children (e.g., “God made me before I was born!”)

4. Slogans

You can always go with a catchy slogan! You can state who you are as a Latter-day Saint for Life (e.g., “I’m a Latter-day Saint for Life”), or choose a general popular slogan:

• I am pro-life

• Pregnant? We will help you.

• I am the pro-life generation

• Human rights begin in the womb

• We are the voice of the voiceless

• As a former fetus, I oppose abortion

• Pray to end abortion

• Love them both

• Pro-woman, pro-life

• Empowered women empower women

• Abortion hurts women

• Abortion is the leading cause of death

• Abortion is not healthcare

What not to put on your sign

Shock-value graphic images

Aborted baby pictures may have their place in helping people understand the evil reality of abortion, but we at Latter-day Saints for Life strongly discourage using disturbing images in public places like the March for Life where children may easily see them.

Aggressive, crass, or unkind messages

Some pro-life slogans may seem like strong gotchas but are actually unprofessional and unkind. Such messages are not only ineffective in changing minds, but they are also unbecoming and inappropriate for a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to share. There are many other ways to stand for truth and against evil without resorting to juvenile tactics.

Some Final Notes + Go Forth with Faith!

It might seem like a small thing, but we encourage you to pray over your sign design. Pray that you choose a message that might touch someone’s heart and be a part of changing minds and saving lives.

Remember, you are representing both the pro-life movement and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when you march as a Latter-day Saint for Life. It’s a great responsibility—and a great opportunity. The Lord will send His Spirit to guide you if you ask for it! Enjoy your weekend!
