The bolded is not a bad thing in the eyes of many Americans. In fact gun control laws have become less popular with newer generations. For example, in the 1950's the majority of Americans supported hand-gun bans, today only a very small minority (like 20%) support handgun bans. Not all Republicans oppose state-recognized same-sex marriage, and many are forfeiting that issue. Abortion is a different story, but that is a heated and controversial topic. Abortions have become stigmatized culturally, and even with outright bans fewer and fewer doctors are doing them. It seems to me that these perspectives are quite consistent with the beliefs of Americans. For that matter, Republicans are properly representing their constinuents.

Gun control laws are more subjective and arguable but I don't understand why we're still having a debate on abortions in 2015.

Maybe because most people don't believe in killing a baby.

Nope, majority of voters believe that it is at least justifiable in some circumstances. Even fewer Republicans than you might think will say that abortion should be totally banned in all circumstances. The iffy question is, as always, where the line is.
Separate post, but gun ownership is also at a historical low in this country, as a proportion of the population. We have more guns owned than ever, but a smaller portion of the population than ever before owning them. So it's the enthusiasts skewing the numbers there to make it look like we're more gun-happy than we are.

That's fine, I don't think abortion should be banned entirely.
