I could use your argument in the other direction. What useful purpose it served to overturn it after 50 years ago, other than to kick political compromise to the curb and increase polarization and harm.

Mostly I agree, but "just accept the government's decisions" can only be expected to go so far. "I disagree with a legal decision" is not the same as "my right is being taken away", or, "I am being harmed", and the line is highly subjective for each person. On certain topics, the conflict is inevitable.
You don’t have to agree with overturning Roe, but that’s no excuse for third-world country style rhetoric. As a matter of legal process, overruling Roe is unremarkable and consistent with longstanding principles of the kinds of cases that can be overruled notwithstanding stare decisis.
