I think the author mistakenly assumes conservative politicians actually care about abortion. Abortion is simply the issue politicians found that will rally their base.
In order to implement the policies that actually hurt the groups they want to hurt they need votes. With abortion they had a single-issue they could use to get people to the polls.
