Justice Scalia, who was angered by the refusal of the plurality, as well as Justice O'Connor, to overturn "Roe v. Wade", wrote a sharp opinion concurring in the judgment. In his concurrence he argued that the Court ought to have overturned "Roe", rather than attempting to uphold both "Roe" and the laws at issue, and he attacked Justice O'Connor's justification for declining to overturn "Roe". He also agreed with Blackmun's assertion that the approach of the plurality would make "Roe" a dead letter.
