You are the one attempting to run a political party whose members will make policy.
That reveals more than you know.
The Founders of this free republic certainly didn't believe in "self-ownership." They believed in the sovereignty of the people, under the true sovereign, the One Who created them. {Hence their use of the word "unalienable" in regard to God-given rights. It was an explicit reference to European property law, in which ultimate ownership resided in, and remained with, the sovereign. While the property might be lent to you, you could not rightfully sell it, and no one could rightfully take it away from you.)
That's one of the reasons the battle cry of the American Revolution was "NO KING BUT JESUS!"
And I do not pretend to make public policy.
You're here advocating public policy, whether you will admit it or not, or whether you recognize it or not. And this exchange has received more than 1500 page views.
The rights to advocate for my beliefs and to organize to implement them in public policy are part of my inheritance as a free American. I don't understand why you might have any problem with that.
