Notice that in each case, the moveon.org wording of the issue is a gross distortion of reality. Take #3 for instance. 3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.) Now read the referenced link.... 3. "South Dakota bill would legalize killing abortion doctors," Salon, February 15, 2011 http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2011/02/15/south_dakota_abortion_killing_bill Turns out that ONE Republican....not "Republicans" proposed the bill. And the bill actually proposed to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to include unborn babies. If you believe an unborn baby is a human being.....that actually makes sense.

"The forcible rape" language is mainly a problem because its undefined and vague. In any case it amounts to a restriction on federal payments to cover abortion, not a restriction on abortion, or anything directly to do with rape. Allowing hospitals to not perform abortions is allowing them to not kill unborn children. Not funding planned parenthood is a good idea. They should get their funds from those who want to give to them, and from those that they provide services to who can afford to pay, not from tax dollars. Topcat already covered the "allow murder of abortion doctors" issue. "Scores of Sacred cows" is just cutting government spending. A very good idea. Actually for the most part it isn't even that, in a number of cases its just reductions of planned increases. And as I mentioned before, headstart hasn't shown itself to be effective.
