The issue centers around that gray area where one person’s rights cross over into another. Traditionally, that has been defined as “trespass” - the act of an individual that substantialy harms another’s life, person (health and safety) and poperty. Morality is self-regulation of our actions so as not to trespass on another’s rights.
Morality is respecting the rights of the unborn individual. It is not preventing gays from marrying (no trepass.) That is the imposition of a religious notion of right and wrong and not a civic one. Telling me I have to use my property to benefit society is not a legitimate prevention of tresppass. Making me pay to support the installation of solar panels on someone elses roof is beyond the oprevention of trespass.
Social conservatives and liberals like to impose their religious or philosophical notions of right and wrong on other’s behavior well beyond the limits of preventing tresspass. I think most libertarian Republicans just want to be left alone in liberty to follow their own conscience and inclinations as long as they are not trespassing on other’s rights.

Hallelujah! You said it so much better than I could, Marsh!
Or as my daddy used to say, “Your rights stop where my nose starts!”
NO, they have a name because they have a political agenda and opponents, their agenda, their political purpose, is to defeat the conservatives, to fight for social liberalism, to oppose social conservatism.
If they were merely silent individuals who were indifferent to the culture war between the left and right, then we wouldn't know who they are, but we do, because they have a political agenda, something that they promote, fight for, argue for, they have a goal, and it means defeating the conservatives at all levels of government.
