I remember hearing or reading somewhere (possibly elsewhere on CP) that he, as the President, won't be able to overturn Roe v. Wade unless there is some "incredibly significant" new information to that case. He'd have to find some new caselaw to supersede RvW, as you can't go back and change old rulings unless you have new info that changes the outcome. You would need a new case/ruling to supersede RvW.
I admit, I'm not lawyer, esp not with U.S. law...but that kind of makes sense, you can't just go back and change the ruling at a later date if you don't like it. You'd need to find some other way, edge or angle in, and argue it should be the new metric.
