SCOTUS' power/respect only goes as far as they're actually listening to the will of Americans. This is not representing Americans if they override. Same for abortion (just legality not anything about enforcement), same for presidential immunity.
We have expectations, and they do not align with SCOTUS, so SCOTUS is not a valid interpretive institution. "The Supreme Court has made their decision, let's see them enforce it."
And against my best judgement, I’ll add that in it was roe v wade itself that was essentially judges creating law (shoehorning abortion rights into a right to privacy is a stretch).
The problem is, they have to, to a certain point. All government institutions ultimately derive their power from the willingness of the governed to live by their laws. Most decisions are minor enough and stacked with enough legalese that the average American doesn't care, but when you have more and more decisions that are as far out of right-field as the recent court has been making and corrupt justices making those decisions, it erodes the willingness of people to live under those decisions as time goes on.

I mean, only if you want the government telling twelve-year-olds that they'll need to push a baby out of a pelvis that is not yet wide enough to safely give birth.
The idea of "privacy" in this context is that generally speaking, it's not the government's business what you do with your body while knowingly and consensually under the care of a doctor. That is private for purposes of what the government can tell you to do. Maybe "confidentiality" would be a better term for the court to have used, but it's not a completely weird term.
