Those aren't mutually exclusive jobs. If you determine that the Constitution does prohibit states from eliminating access to abortion, then you as the court must step in and adjudicate the competing interests between the mother and the unborn child. Balancing competing rights is a huge part of what the courts have always done.
Fundamental rights like life and liberty should not be subject to the whims of political majorities in legislative bodies. This is a fundamental pillar of our system of government. It's a big reason why we have a Constitution in the first place.
