====[[William Rehnquist]]====
William Rehnquist cited his dissent in Roe v. Wade on the argument that Roe's complaint does not justify nor give the court power to outlaw abortion restrictions in every state. He also listed 36 states with abortion restrictions to further argue his point in the general sense that powers not given to the federal government should be left to the states (also known as the [[Tenth Amendment]]).<ref>[https://college.cengage.com/polisci/eduspace/sources/civil_liberties/hmps_roevwade_dissent.html]</ref>

====[[Byron White]]====
Byron White's dissent in Roe v. Wade was owed to his findings that nowhere in the Constitution supports the majority of the Court's opinion. He is known to have said: "The Court simply fashions and announces a new constitutional right for pregnant mothers, and, with scarcely any reason or authority for its action, invests that right with sufficient substance to override most existing state abortion statutes." White also concluded that the Court's majority opinion values convenience over potential life and that its ruling in prohibiting the protection of that potential life was unacceptable to him.<ref>[http://www.americasfuture.net/2001/jan01/01-0121a.html]</ref>
