How much of the anti-choice movement is motivated by white nationalism?

First off, I am not an expert in these matters. I am simply piecing together some personal observations.

That being said, from what I have seen, the anti-choice contingent is overwhelmingly white, possibly 90-95% white, if not more so. Given the strong correlation between being anti-choice and being a Republican and the strong correlation between being Republican and being a racist, is it really that much of a leap to think (some? most?) anti-choice people are motivated by white nationalism and protecting the white race? Or is it simply a coincidence that anti-choice people and white nationalists support the same candidates and party?

It's connected to their aggressive hatred of "black welfare queens" and the "if you can't feed them, don't breed them" propaganda.

The master race must preserve its dominance NO MATTER WHAT!

Choice gives women options and changes the mating dynamic because it makes her less dependent on the male.

Taking away our reproductive autonomy makes us dependent on men. They want the 50's back.

That's what motivates almost all of the forced birthers in the United States. Most white nationalists are Christians, and I'd guess they tend to lean more fundamentalist. If that's true, I think it's enough to explain the correlation.

Are any of the white nationalists who've said they favor abortion for minorities but not for whites? All the anti-choicers I know of want abortion banned across the board, for every woman regardless of color.

but sadly the men have no wombs.....so they have had to capture the wombers and make them breed.

it is the same reason the white plantation owners needed slavery.

As stated in their pamphlets during slave days, they had to capture and enslave Africans because only Africans were adapted to work under the broiling sun. If they did not have slaves there would be no cotton for people to clothe themselves and our whole economy would collapse.

So without forced breeding the white race would die out

and without forced labor the white race would be naked under the broiling sun and burn to death.

So never say white men don't don't respect women and black people. We know there are things only they and they alone can do.
