You have a personal right to life, too, but that doesn't mean it's the job of the federal government to defend it from the thug who lives down the street from you.

Is it the job of the Supreme Court to protect you from State laws which violate your personal right to life, without due process?

Yes. Due process, however, isn't violated by laws that are universally applied, regardless of how oppressive such laws are, unless such laws are enforced in an improper manner. Hence the word "process".
