Abortion ban passed in a Dakota, but got overturned, which dynamic is probably why people don't try more -- Roe vs. Wade sits over the field. Instead they pass laws to make abortion harder to get, and we've got lots of those.
Also, abortion potentially affects the entire population (women directly, men indirectly), while gay marriage just benefits gays. Less skin off everyone else's back.
