Wade]]'', Chief Justice Burger voted with the majority of the court in favor of [[abortion]] but supposedly only did so to enable him to assign the writing of the opinion to Justice Blackmun rather than to Justice [[William Brennan]], who was expected to write a more liberal decision.<ref>The Chief Justice has the power to assign who writes the opinion for the side that he is on; the writer of the opinion on the other side is determined by the most senior judge on that side.</ref> As it turned out, Justice Brennan had tremendous influence over the writing of the decision anyway. Burger would later abandon ''Roe'' in his dissent in ''Thornburgh v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists'' (1986).
