Reopening Roe v. Wade

CNN reports that Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade fame, has asked a federal appeals court to reconsider Roe v. Wade, on the grounds that abortion is psychologically harmful to women.

Well, I am sure it is harmful to some. They don't have to have it. But in the case of Norma McCorvey herself, who at the time of Roe v. Wade (1973) was pregnant with her third unwanted child at the ripe old age of 21, wouldn't it be possible that the woman was a bit fucked in the head to begin with? I mean, I know that birth control sometimes fails, but three failures before the age of 21 at a time and place where the pills and the IUDs are available?
