I heard today that part of the republican "compromise" to raising the minimum wage, was to only raise it to $6.25, but part of the bill proposed would make it illegal to take a minor out of state to have an abortion. Does this make ANY sense?????

It's called a 'rider'. an unrelated amendment that is attached to a bill to get it passed.

A lot of times when the propose a bill they will add other stuff this bill that will make it so people don't want to pass it. Like for example they will put a bill to raise min. wage with say raising taxes 20%. People will shoot down the bill bill because they don't want to raise taxes even though raising minimum wage is way over due.

Those are two completely different subjects...where did you get this information. and 6.25 is minimum wage...well at least in Cali.
