Did she say the reasoning was wrong, or merely that it wasn't ideal? As far as I know, she took umbrage with Roe v Wade being physician focused rather than woman focused. In other words, that the provides for a physicians right to perform abortions more than it does a woman's right to receive abortions.

Laws banning abortion had been written by men and were enforced by men, but their burden fell entirely on women. RBG was a brilliant legal mind and invoking the Equal Protection Clause (which is what she argued for) would have been orders of magnitude more robust than invoking some vague "right to privacy" that's barely in the Constitution to begin with.
