My 1996 Saturn sl, when I apply brakes the car seems to pulsate stop, could this be bad, pads, bad rotor, bad calipers, abs system, motor mounts...all?

Most likely is a bad or warped rotor. If all else is fine with the brakes or it's time to do them replace both. Brake rotors that have been machined are at or near the limit as they don't come with much extra metal and when even just a tad under they warp easily with heat. It costs more but for most cars it's best to replace rotors at time of regular brake service and the service life will be that much better,
