Ali Velshi lays it out pretty definitively in this commentary. You're welcome to disagree, but the evidence is pretty strong for his argument. Not only is the link between the Religious Right's overriding anti segregation and anti-abortion stances pretty blatant, but he also points out that Roe vs Wade was not even a very galvanizing ruling for the Right, until probably a 1/2 decade or so later...

The BIG issue for the Right from the start was Brown vs Board of Education- rendered in 1954,the year before I was born. Falwell, Liberty U, Bork... he lays out all the damning evidence that Segregation was the real boogeyman, and it was only when they realized that they were not going to gain traction (and political power) on that issue with any semblance of a majority of the population that they fell into line and chose abortion as their political sword. Obviously, the "moral majority"...not particularly moral, and never really close to a majority, has never really believed in individual freedom for everyone...

When we look at data, an expert says we tend to see what we are looking for. Preconceptions can be biased.
 
Abortions have a disparate impact on minorities and the poor. If the anti-abortion movement had racist tendencies, boy did they grab onto the wrong thing to be against.

Hell, with this dumb ass logic, I should be a pro-abortion, woke AF individual. The woke crowd wants set asides and special places for minorities and abortion kills more blacks a year than the a devoted racist could ever hope for.

My position makes no sense politically, because it is a moral position. Every one of those children, o matter their color or if they may vote against my politics in 18 years, deserves a life.
Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood purposely put clinics in black areas because she saw blacks as inferior and so wanted to limit their numbers. Sanger was a big fan of Hitler's doctrine of superiority.

You’re spreading a lie there, Herr Van.
