The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I probably didn't answer it to your satisfaction though.

Well, no, because that wasn't really the question. I wasn't trying to solicit your views on abortion - as you point out, we've covered that a lot.

I was just trying to talk about how you would respond to a proposed bill that contained something you approve of (the current version of the Born Alive Abortion Survivor Protection Act) and something you thought was awful (a provision legalizing abortion in all the red states). That happens all the time in Congress. Most bills don't just do one thing. So you get a bill that would do both X and Y, and you support X but vehemently oppose Y. What do you do?

I was asking whether you would vote for that bill or not. If it had the BAASPA provisions (which you support) and also had a provision that barred red states from restricting abortion, could you vote for it?
