This is in fact the correct reading as Mets' point necessarily neglects the racial component involved in abortion lawmaking with regards to panic over the falling birth rates of white Americans, something covered in detail by Elexus Jionde here:

The pro life movement can, in fact, be traced back to falling birth rates among white women. It hasn't really changed since then.
