Why are conservatives disproportionately against women having the right to abort a pregnancy...
...but conservatives are also way more likely to oppose things like sex education or free birth control which prevents the need for an abortion to take place?

I think a lot of it goes back to the Christian influences that conservatives embrace. Christianity has long taken the stand that sex is bad unless it's in wedlock and for the purpose of procreation. In their minds the things you mention promote sex for pleasure, not procreation. I thought society had long moved past demonizing sex for pleasure but it's made a roaring comeback.
