His belief flies against the court's majority decision in the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which found a constitutionally protected right of privacy that covers abortion.

The court's majority decision in the 1973 case Roe v. Wade flies against the actual text of the Constitution, in which no "right to privacy" can be found, which forced the court to invent one by saying that they found "penumbras" in the Bill of Rights.

Hey Chief Justice Burger, is that a penumbra in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?...

Don't blame poor old Burger for the penumbra. Justice William O. Douglas invented the penumbra for the Griswold (Connecticut birth control) case.
