Go join a convent Why would you get pregnant by that loser!?!
LOL I really don't know, been a long time since I've studied that one. But Shakespeare uses words like Nunn'ry, breeder and sinners and he's not actually speaking about those particular things, he's making a point about something else...I mean that's obvious but it may help you to break down the quote based on what part of the story it came from

It's an insult. "Get thee to a nunn'ry" means to go someplace where you cannot have sex. "Breeder of sinners" means someone who encourages others to have sex outside of marriage. Basically all together it means : " You're a whore!"
