These are just the facts. A party that, as such, wanted to ban abortion or to repeal same-sex marriage could not win any parliamentary seat in Great Britain. If you doubt that, then tell me which seat that it could win.
Some years after the death of Charles Kennedy, and long years after the death of John Smith, a party whose Leader wanted to ban abortion or to repeal same-sex marriage (which latter would not have been Kennedy's view, and possibly not Smith's) could not now win any parliamentary seat in Great Britain. If you doubt that, then tell me which seat that it could win.

By the time of the next General Election in 2019 or later, then even an individual candidate who was not the incumbent and who wanted to repeal same sex-marriage would stand no realistic chance of election in Great Britain. If you doubt that, then tell me which parliamentary seat that such a candidate could win. The same would be true of Northern Ireland if same-sex marriage were already in place there, as it very soon will be.
These are just the facts. Ho, hum. Jesus told us to expect a lot worse than merely not being allowed to become Prime Minister, or even a Member of Parliament. Catholics were banned from Parliament for quite a while, and we are arguably still banned from the Premiership. We seem to have survived.
