Oh, Barf
So the original Jane Roe wants to have Roe v. Wade overturned and has talked a court into hearing her argument. Why does she want this? Because of the supposed psychological harm to women from abortion. Never mind that worldwide, a lot of women have abortions every year with no side effects, psychological or physical. Just because she feels an abortion would have harmed her (she didn't have one, mind you) doesn't mean the rest of us should be denied health care.
The reality is that the Religious Right managed to brainwash her into believing that what she did was wrong, and convince her that she needs to do something. Hell, that she can do something. Last I heard, decisions of the Supreme Court can only be overturned by the Supreme Court, and they've upheld Roe v. Wade multiple times.
