Thatcher wasn't really 'socially liberal' though. Yes she did vote to legalise abortion (a bill, which, I believe, was actually pretty restrictive), but I don't really see how she can be seen as one. 'Social issues' simply weren't very important politically during the 1980's, so it's not surprising that she devoted little attention to them. Although, it should be remembered that her government was responsible for passing Section 28 (over-hyped as the furore surrounding that legislation was).
