That is an unbelieveably black and white way to look at things, and doesn't represent the real world at all.

The right wing equivalent would be; "One side wants me to have freedom to choose for myself, while the other wants to abort me before I'm even born."

It always amazes me the extent to which people with such absurd reductionist hyperbole seem intentionally unaware of the extent to which there's an exact mirror of oversimplification on the other side.
