Justices Byron White and William Rehnquist voted against Roe v. Wade primarily due to their belief in a more limited interpretation of the Constitution regarding unenumerated rights. They argued that the Constitution did not explicitly guarantee a right to privacy that would encompass a woman's right to choose an abortion. Additionally, they expressed concerns about the potential implications of recognizing such a right, emphasizing states' rights and the authority of legislatures to regulate abortion.
