No, the issue is personal autonomy on an individual level and individual rights on the political level. The left and right both want to selectively apply rights and autonomy. The right wants gun rights but not the valid right to life and personal autonomy in the context of abortion. The left wants abortion rights, but not the valid right to self-defense.
This came to a head over the past two years, when the same slogan "my body, my choice" was used by two different ideologies to explain the same fundamental right to life, but which each side only wanted it to apply to their chosen bias and had good-sounding surface logic defending their application of said principle and denying the other side's view (which, in principle, is the same viewpoint). These strange creatures are like the urRu and the Skeksis in the Dark Crystal.
