I would think that those who do are being lazy. I would suggest that the average liberal is more open to change than average conservatives however; they're much more mentally active; less prejudiced.
I think your bias about conservatives being less open to change is the fact that conservatives don't think the federal government is always the answer. Perhaps since conservatives trust the individual, free markets and state's rights more than the federal government, it may look to liberals as laziness since conservatives wish to engage federal government less than liberals. The fact that most state legislators are predominately republican would seem to buttress my position since republicans (conservatives tend to vote republican) center on state's rights. Ironically, conservatives wish to overhaul the government into a smaller entity which of course would be a bigger change (the opposite of lazy) than anything the left has suggested.
Do you still want to restrict marriages between same sex couples? Yes
Do you still want to restrict a woman's reproductive rights? Yes
Both are matters that are addressed at the state level.
So much for your "smaller government"...unless you mean small enough to fit in the bedroom, the church, the doctor's office...
the problem with those reproductive rights is you are taking about them after the rights of another living individual becomes involved. up to that point your rights should be what ever you want them to be. but the minute another life becomes involved its no longer about just your rights.
