Insofar as it is reconciled — because these people can hold numerous mutually contradictory thoughts in their heads at once — it's done with hypocrisy and lies of omission, if not commission. Occasionally you will see a white conservative attempting to rally black support by screaming about all the black "children" who've been aborted, but not often.
The best way to understand them is to watch what they do, not listen to what they say. I have not ever been to an abortion clinic, but I hear from many, many sources that the "sidewalk counselors" will get in the faces of white women with the "Don't kill your baby!!" guilt trip. They will never, ever go up to a black woman, Native American woman, or Latina and do the same. (Not sure about Asian women.)
