I think people have a natural right to property. In fact your rights over your own body can be seen as a property right. (Making in some sense property rights more fundamental, or the same depending on how you look at it, more fundamental in the sense that from this perspective rights to your body come from the concept of property rights, but the same in that your right to any particular property isn't more fundamental then your rights to your body). Even from this perspective the body could be seen as your most important property. OTOH what is properly your property is a bit more complex in most cases (abortion might be the primary exception) than what is properly you, and a more easily recognized or more obvious right or set of rights might be considered by some to be more fundamental. And of course if there is no you to own the property then no property rights are involved.
