Yes they do but most laws are also about protecting the greater good in that they protect the rest of us from other people. Murder, for example, affects not only the killer but the victim and hence there is a law against it. Abortion really only affects the woman having the procedure performed. If the lady next door to me has an abortion, it doesn’t affect me one iota on a societal level.

Playing Devil’s advocate, the pro-life folks think of the baby as the victim.
