The federal government overruled state laws on the abortion issue with Roe v. Wade. Pro-life Republicans know that decision was wrong and should be overturned.

That part is true, and I thought what Condi said was consistent with that.
The Fed'l Gov't has no right to be involved in abortion issues.
Having the Supreme Court ban abortions is just as wrong as having them allow them without restriction. There is nothing in the Constitution giving them the right to decide that issue one way or the other.

What Condi said is that she is Libertarian on the issue. In other words, some things are not in the purview of the Supreme Court, even if the Justices happen to agree with you.

Rice never said anything about Roe being wrong. When asked if abortion should be illegal, Condoleezza Rice said "no". She called herself "pro-choice". Republicans will never nominate her. That's a good thing, because she would alienate the pro-life base and lose to sHillary.
