Logically I see your point. But one side is fine with the other side having the opinion to not have an abortion under any circumstances while the other is fighting to take the right away from anyone to have an abortion. So I feel like one side has more reason to go for the anti-* card, although I don't think it's very productive.

From the POV of anti-abortion folks, the idea of "oh just let other people have abortions if they want" is as silly as saying "oh just let other people have slaves / kill their infants". If you think a fetus is worthy of similar moral protection as a 2 year old of course you'd be against all abortion, in the same way you're against all toddler murder.

(I don't think a fetus, especially <20 weeks or whatever, is a full moral person, but I understand those who do)

If only the rest of our society held this level of introspection and reflection we’d be so much better off.
