Is there a term/concept for the way unrelated political beliefs are tied together? Like taxes/abortion.

So in the US there's only two major parties so that there's a divide set up on every issue, right? So is there a term for the way that Democrats vote in a bloc like pro-choice, more social programs, gay marriage, more taxes, no death penalty? 

I just want to do more reading on that topic, but don't really know how to Google it.

You may want to search for cleavages (persistent divisions within a voting population), alignment (the formation of a coalition of interests behind one party), and dimensionality (the number of axes/spectra/predominant conflicts needed to explain a country's party system).
