The question that has you finish the statement "The size of government is" is particularly flawed, because it seeks to answer two separate questions: what is your opinion of the size of government and do you think the government is doing enough. My answer to those two separate questions would be "it is too big" and "it is doing too little," which of course wasn't an option. Similarly the abortion question is a choice between it being wrong or a woman's choice. The answers aren't mutually exclusive, and really are answers to two separate questions. The one Travis referenced is a lot less loaded, and has the added virtue of not encouraging the spread of Lieberman photos on the Internet.
