I'm not sure. Self hatred perhaps? Ignorance perhaps of how oppressive society is to women?
Most of the religious ones who vote against abortion rights, defunding of planned parenthood in the USA justify their restriction of women's rights by saying they must follow their religious beliefs.
Why do women support social norms, behaviour and ideas that restrict their rights? Not because of the self hatred, but because they are accepted and awarded by the society or their own group if they do so. Or - more correctly, they are punished or isolated if they don't. They put their own personal benefits before right, just or consiouss behaviour and beliefs.
In more patriarchal society they risk their life or excommunication if they go against the imposed social norms, in little more tolerant society they may not get an approval of the group they are part of.
