Yes, in a view of subjective morality, you are saying morality and therefore rights are based on the subject (or perhaps a group of subjects). Therefore you cannot claim that something is immoral or more or less moral apart from that foundation. You cannot compare and say that something is more or less moral for another person or culture. Objective rights outside of the person or culture do not exist. It doesn't even make sense to say that they don't deserve these rights, under moral subjectivity. And merely having compassion or empathy doesn't work either in regards to morality and rights.
