They certainly don't care about the babies of blacks or browns, not even the Chinese when they had the one-child rule, which they went so far as to force abortions of the last month to keep population down.
While the GOP was mewling on about partial-birth abortions in the Congress, grossing everyone out, they had nothing to say about the GOP's BFFs in China. When it was brought up that their principles were unequally applied, they refused to discuss it. One of their mouthpieces, Pat Robertson, said that abortion in China was different somehow.
So much for principles and the science of conception.
Buchanan argued that abortion was a plot (by Jews, probably, don't really want to delve into the cesspool to get the quote) to reduce a white majority and right wing evangelicals echoed that. Even Farrakhan made mention of the fact that white racism was based on the discoveries of Europeans traveling the world in their ships and finding that white people were in truth, a minority. So they had to find a way to keep their position above the other races or be helpless. But we can skip those guys.
