Powell was new to the court. If Hugo Black had been on the Court he would have voted against Roe. Or if he had, it would have been on narrow grounds Any opinion he wrote would have cast scorn on the word "privacy" used in this way.

I have never heard it speculated previously that Black would have opposed Roe. I know he opposed all regulation of political speech, but otherwise he was pretty much a welfare-state liberal.
