This is a joke, I hope.   I'm about as pro-abortion (not merely pro-choice) as
you can get, but I also understand how divisive an issue abortion is, and
would never expect the entire Usenix organization to agree on the issue, or
expect it to make its business decisions based on an opinion about abortion
laws.

If a state had some strange anti-computer laws, I could see advocating
some action relating to that, but it is hardly the role of Usenix to lobby
on non-unix related political issues.
