OP, you are reading her answer wrong.

She is saying Roe v Wade is binding precedent for the Circuit court for which she was being appointed for, which is correct.

That doesn't mean she would or wouldn't overturn it while on the Supreme Court.

Correct - she was answering the question as a nominee for a court lower than the Supreme.

No reason to exclude her for saying she would abide by the precedent set by a higher court.

It was not only a proper answer, it was pragmatic in the context of the process she was going through at the time. The Democrats were attempting a gotcha, and she prudently told them there was no reason to even go there.

I'd rather not risk another Sandra Day O'Connor; the answers in the OP sound like Sandra Day O'Connor and the main reason we have endured the 50+yr abomination of a law.
