Nah.  That's just not the case.  There are a significant amount of congressmen who tried to shut down the federal government to avoid funding planned parenthood.  At the local level, there are TONS of restrictions on abortions.  Mike Pence, now our vice president, passed laws making it legal to deny service to gay people, among other anti-lbgtq laws.  

There are a lot of republicans who say this stuff because their party demands it.  But, there are also lots of them who actually believe it.

You should be able to deny anyone in my opinion for service as long as you own it. Not that it is right, but part of freedom of speech in my opinion. Which is what a lot of conservatives believe like Ron Paul. Also, a lot of republicans don't like funding services or social programs. Doesn't mean they are going to outlaw abortions. Republicans had many oppurtunties to do this, but they won't do it.

They've tried to outlaw abortions.  They've tried many times and they'll keep trying.

As for denying service, whether or not that's freedom of speech is irrelevant to this conversation.  You're saying that republicans aren't actually acting on these things, but they are, and that's an example of it.
