It's also wrong. The Court did not overturn Roe v. Wade, although it distinguished other cases from Roe's holding, and, in doing so, refined and restricted the holding of Roe.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992)
Yeah, I get the "people's heads exploding" reaction a lot too.
And Gonzales v. Carhart 127 S.Ct. 1610 (April 18, 2007) overturned other cases, mainly dealing with the "health of the mother" exception.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Gonzalez v. Carhart are the ones that come to mind. There were probably others.
