There was a clear policy difference between the two parties.  The fact that it was changed by the Supreme CVourt doesn't change that at all.

The difference between being political against abortion doesn't mean anything if the end result is the same as if Democrats were in power. The difference between being politically for gay marriage means nothing if the end results are the same as if the GOP was in power, save for the Supreme court.

Now with marriage, it's done on a state level, so the president and Congress can't necessary just unban it everywhere. The bigger issue is that Obama and Clinton spend their entire careers as Democrats opposed to gay marriage and only changed when it was worth more votes. At least Cheney had a genuine reason to change his stance and still did so when it would have hurt him more than help him politically.

Also on a state level, some Republicans have passed laws just to make it harder to get abortions without explicitly banning them. In those states, there is something to the differences, but no one is nationally campaigning for overturning Roe vs Wade.
