The reasoning behind banning abortion is that a very small fetus is actually a full person. That makes abortion murder, and even though something like 20% of pregnancies naturally end in a miscarriage, now every one of them is a potential DIY abortion i.e. murder, so they now must be investigated as such.
As for the racism aspect, well, it's just a sad fact that laws are--in general--applied more stringently and punished more severely for minorities. Of course these new laws would only be no exception.
Ok, sure. But pre-overturning of roe v wade, this would still be a crime. Black or white, this would still be a crime. I dont see how its more or less a crime because of the color of her skin.
Way to argue in bad faith. The woman in question went to the hospital first. She had a miscarriage at home against her will.
Whether or not it would be a crime is utterly irrelevant; this situation would have never even occurred.
