IIRC black women suffer higher rates of medical complications to begin with for various reasons (both institutional racism related and otherwise, I think), and this criminalization of abortion exacerbates that.
In other words, it's bad for all women, but it's disproportionately worse for black ones and thus in effect yet another instance of institutional racism on top of all the other problems with it.
This is a fair point, and I wish the article had made this point.
