ummm, no, there are many people that are quite unhappy with santorum-esque positions on issues that impact women. it's not an attempt at misdirection. lots of the folks that oppose the santorum are stupid, just like a lot of those that support it. they are not capable of fancy say one thing to distract from another tactics.
santorum himself would be happy to see contraception made illegal. perhaps he would equip police with latex-sniffing dogs. he thinks his morals are so peachy that they can make decisions for you.
a law requiring an ultrasound prior to an abortion is absurd. it adds moral fingers to the law, and is a fucking waste of resources. (for all the right wing bitching about health care costs, it's funny that extra, expensive testing is just fine for purposes of proselytizing.)
given that abortions tend to happen early in a pregnancy, an ultrasound will often require INTERNAL probing. while obviously "rape" is an exaggeration i do not think it is a good idea for government to probe women's genitals. perhaps you disagree. or perhaps you would gain some smug satisfaction in knowing that "sinners" got some grief...
don't want us imaginary elites telling you how to homeschool your kids? fine. i don't care what you do. and you can keep out of my business, too. it's that easy.
