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.

I didn't read the whole article, but it seems that they are making it harder, but not impossible. One of the ways I assume is cutting funding. Which is more of a tax issue and Republicans don't like social policies.  I'll read the article thoroughly tomorrow morning when I get time (about to go to sleep).

The denying service was response towards gays. I don't care if a private company wants to deny me or any group service because it's their company. Now if it is publicy own I will agree with you because they pay their fair share. However, I can show you examples later tomorrow on Republicans not banning gay mariage or banning abortions. 

 

http://rare.us/story/here-are-5-conservatives-who-supported-gay-marriage-before-hillary-clinton/ Here is an example of conservatives supporting gay marriage even before Hillary did.

They are making it harder, because they can't make it impossible.  Roe v Wade means they can't outright outlaw it, so they put a lot of restrictions.  The same way democrats tried to make a bill holding gun manufacturers legally liable for shootings as a roundabout way to evade the second ammendment. Cutting funding is not one of them, because public funding is not used to fund abortions (to the best of my knowledge).  

As for denying service, whether or not it's right is still irrelevant.  The point is that conservatives are not merely claiming to not like gays and abortion, like you said.  They are actually taking actions based on these positions.  

I'm sure you can show me some examples of conservatives who do not do that.  Not all conservatives are alike, and I never said they were.  But, the fact remains that there are a lot of them who follow through on their anti-gay and anti-abortion rhetoric.
