Recognizing the rights of a woman to own her body isn't championing infanticide, respecting the desire of two people of the same sex to enter into a legal contract / social union (even if you don't agree with their lifestyle) isn't waving the banner for homosexuality, and being open people with different beliefs doesn't mean you yourself are rejecting your own deeply held beliefs.
Mark my words: the upcoming generation will be known as the generation of skeptics. The age of information has bombarded them from birth with a continuous stream of half-truths and illogical inconsistency, and just to keep their brains from imploding, they will have to develop finely tuned bullshit detectors. The conservative movement / Republican Party will either adapt and evolve (and that certianly doesn't mean becoming Democrats, Socialists or Communists), or they will go the way of the whigs and other once-significant parties.
