What I do not understand about the conservative ideology

put yourself in the position of someone who believes that abortion is the mass murder of unborn children. Do you really expect them to care whether this in consistent with wanting to pay lower taxes?

these things are not black and white dude.

Yes I understand that abortion and limited taxation are not really comparable issues, but while I can completely understand how someone could view abortion on a personal level as "mass murder and unborn children", the idea of allowing allowing people the freedom to spend money as they choose is consistent with the idea of allowing women decide if they want to abort. The main thing that the issue of abortion has in common with the other issues I listed with it is that lawmakers are making deciding what people should do, not the people themselves, and like the other issues the debate between government authority vs personal authority is eclipsed by the debate between religion-based morality vs real-world practicality.
