• Abortion. In a brief before the Supreme Court in Rust v. Sullivan (500 U.S. 173, 1991), where he was defending the validity of a government regulation that banned abortion-related counseling by federally-funded family planning programs, Roberts wrote:

"We continue to believe that [Roe v. Wade] was wrongly decided and should be overruled. As more fully explained in our briefs, filed as amicus curiae, in Hodgson v. Minnesota, 110 S.

Akron Center for Reproductive Health, 462 U.S. 416 (1983), the Court's conclusions in Roe that there is a fundamental right to an abortion and that government has no compelling interest in protecting prenatal human life throughout pregnancy find no support in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution."

West Virginia Coal Association. 125 people had been killed and 50 million dollars in damages caused 30 years earlier in West Virginia when a mountaintop removal or MTR valley-fill burst.
• Business-labor relations. In a case before the Supreme Court, Roberts argued on behalf of mining companies who wanted to use criminal contempt fines to force the end of a strike which had been ruled unlawful.

Judicial opinions

During a confirmation hearing

Abortion. In 1990, Roberts was arguing a case for the first Bush administration, on abortion, and stated that Roe v. Wade "was wrongly decided and should be overruled."[3] In 2003, during his confirmation hearing for appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Roberts responded to a senator's question about Roe v. Wade: "Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land...There is nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent." He said that his previous statement in 1990 was his client's position, not his own. Roberts was subsequently approved by a unanimous vote of the Senate.

Opinions as Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals

• Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The D.C. Circuit case Hedgepeth v. Washington Metro Authority involved a twelve-year-old girl who was taken into custody, handcuffed, and driven to police headquarters because she ate a french fry in a Washington metro station. Roberts wrote for a 3-0 panel affirming a district court decision that dismissed the girl's complaint, which was predicated on the Fourth and Fifth amendments. Roberts began his opinion by noting that "No one is very happy about the events that led to this litigation," and pointing out that the policies under which the girl was "apprehended" have since been changed. Roberts concluded the court was not authorized to second-guess the appropriateness of the District's policies: "The question before us," Roberts wrote, "is not whether these policies were a bad idea, but whether they violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution."
• Civil rights. In Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, Roberts joined the majority in upholding military tribunals set up by the Bush administration for trying terrorism suspects, overturning the district court ruling. [5]
• Environmental regulation. On the U.S. Court of Appeals, Roberts wrote a dissenting opinion siding with a developer in a case involving the protection of a rare Californian toad under the Endangered Species Act. He argued that the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution did not permit the government to regulate activity affecting what he called "a hapless toad" that "for reasons of its own lives its entire life in California."
