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".

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

I'm not sure I get your point.

Are you saying that States can violate a personal right as long as they do it to everyone equally?
