While I agree that many of them are thinking that way, the concept totally baffles me. If you’re a racist, why would you not support abortion for minorities? It’s the strangest thing to me. So the real problem here is people don’t understand how statistics work.
The abortion issue in particular doesn’t center around racists, it centers around evangelicals. Zealots believe that an abortion is Against God and really, truly, honestly believe they are saving your immortal soul and that of your baby by forcing you to carry to term. People like that can’t be reasoned with because they honestly believe they are acting in the best interests of folks that require saving. “This is for your own good” kind of attitude.
It lets them pretend that they are morally superior/not racist and the left is racist. “The left wants to kill unborn black babies and we’re trying to save them.”
They tend to not hate racial minorities - as long as they “stay in their place.” In the case of black people, they want black people to have no say in government and just do whatever their white masters employers tell them to do for whatever pay their white employers decide to give them. More black babies means more workers in their minds.
The same is true of other people. Women are okay if they “stay barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.” LGBTQ people are okay if “they stay hidden in the closet and never mention who they really are.” Other religions are fine as long as they pretend that they are Christian.
Basically, they want things to go back to the “good old days” when white, straight, Christian men ran things and everyone else bowed to them.
There are plenty of racists that are happy to let abortion be a thing. I’ve heard (and lost count of how many times) repeatedly about planned parenthood being started by a racist, etc. etc. The republicans aren’t a complete monomind, they just get along really well at the ‘we hate others’ party that their leaders throw.
It’s not about getting rid of them, its about lowering their standard of life to below that of yourself so you can continue to feel superior in your race.
More workers for the slave prison industry. Very few people want to actually eliminate the groups they look down on; they need them around to be exploited, to be scapegoats, etc.

It’s also centred around misogynists and people jealous of other people having happy carefree sex
For two reasons:

Because they need fodder for the prison slave labor pipeline.
(I also agree with @skulblaka that it’s more about evangelicals than racists.)
