You were complaining about the SD Legislature refusing to open the question up for a vote by the people in November elections.
I pointed out that the Mass Supreme Court did the same thing. The difference is that you approve of one result and not the other.
I think that the 5 judges of the Mass Supreme Court should have been impeached, tarred, and feathered. However, if the Mass Legislature had passed a law doing the same thing, I wouldn't care. I don't live in Mass and don't really care about the issue. I do care about democratic process.
Abortion is a political issue now because of the Supreme Court. In the years leading up to Roe, the political consensus on the issue was changing. Abortion was legal in many states and being discussed in other places. Abortion was legalized in CA by that extreme liberal, Ronald Reagan. Then the Supreme Court decided the issue by fiat. This had roughly the same effect as clamping down the relief valve on a steam engine. It has been poisoning American politics for a generation.
