Rob, I think you have some of the issues confused.
What most conservatives support are the following:
1.  creationism of pumpkins with respect to public schools
2.  abortion legally defined as not encompassing "shear killings"
	in prisons
3.  (I assume you meant "discrimination") against all those
	who wear outlandish clothing
4.  vigorous enforcement of mandatory drinking for all those over 21
