Define conservative.
Many, if not most, Republican politicians claim to be conservative, when most of them are actually libertarian on social/moral issues, and if the budget deficits with GWB's first 6 years in office are any indication, most Republicans are liberals when it comes to government spending. And as far as I can tell most Republicans who hold national office are in favor of abortion in cases of rape, incest or fetal stem cell research.
There are not many people who are conservative and who are willing to support the rights of the unborn. In this regard the "conservative" position on abortion is little better than the "liberal" position on abortion- both are in favor of killing the unborn for convenience's sake. But abortion is a moral, life and death issue. It transcends politics.
