I suppose one could be against the practice on a personal level but believe that it's not the government's decision to intervene in a woman's healthcare choices (i.e.: the stance most practicing Catholic Democrats are likely to take), but I question how many people who hold such views would actually label themselves as social conservatives. Social conservatism generally connotes extending ones ideal personal preferences on social issues into legislative policy.

Yes if they personally abhor it and find it unacceptable but don't believe it's the government job to deal with this issue ( small government conservative)

Isn't "small government" conservatism inherently at odds with social conservatism?

The Republican Party apparently didn't get the memo after several decades of tying the two together.
