Vad finns det för belägg för att kvinnor skräms bort av socialkonservatism?
Kolla grafen på sidan 9 i denna artikel som jämför inställningen till abort mellan vita och svarta män och kvinnor:

Vita män mest pro-choice. Svarta kvinnor mest pro-life.
Vita män mest GOP. Svarta kvinnor minst GOP.
Det är möjligt att kvinnor ur minoritetsgrupperna är något mer socialkonservativa än vita kvinnor, det har jag ingen statistik på. Däremot är amerikanska kvinnor exempelvis mer positiva till homosexuella äktenskap än amerikanska män, vilket är en faktor som indikerar att de är mindre socialkonservativa än män:

However, there is a sizable difference in women’s and men’s attitudes toward gay marriage. In an October 2011 survey, 53% of women favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, while 38% were opposed. More men opposed than supported same-sex marriage (51% to 40%).
The gender gap was evident among young and old alike: 60% of women younger than 50 favored gay marriage, compared with 45% of men. Among those 50 and older, 44% of women and 32% of men favored gay marriage.

Visst, skillnaden är inte avgrundsdjup, men den finns ändå där, och jag tror inte republikanerna har råd att bortse från det när de ska enas om en kandidat inför valet 2016. Den riktigt stora skillnaden verkar i stället vara frågor om ekonomi, välfärdssystemen och statens roll i samhället:

In the October 2011 survey, nearly half of the public (48%) favored a smaller government that provides fewer services, while 41% preferred a bigger government with more services.

The October survey also found higher percentages of women than men saying that the government does not do enough for older people (by 11 points), children (10 points) and the poor (nine points). By contrast, there were no differences in views of how much the government does for wealthy people. Nearly identical percentages (65% of women, 64% of men) said it does too much for the wealthy.
There also were significant gaps on two issues involving the role of government in a survey on public priorities for the president and Congress in 2012 – helping the poor and needy, and education. In a January survey, 72% of women cited education as a top priority, compared with 57% of men. Nearly six-in-ten (58%) women rated helping the poor and needy as a top priority, compared with 46% of men.
