how are they wanting to go about legislating it

The law boiled down to saying "abortions cannot be performed due to baby's race." It didn't get anywhere, but it was a credible concern-troll law attempting to create a more protected class than generic "unborn baby." IIRC, it was tied to a law that banned abortion for gender selection, another concern-troll law that plays so very well to the cheap seats. "They SAY they're for women, but we want to protect women even in the womb!"

It's a really subtly nasty form of concern-troll racism. Under the guise of "saving" the "endangered" babies, it strips the advantages of family planning (less poverty, more education, healthier adults, stronger families, bodily autonomy) from a specific group of women solely based on skin color.
