I feel that a similar process is at work over here, though operating more tacitly. It seems, at least anecdotally, that most abortion protesters in America are white people, and that they protest at clinics where white women go. And it's always seemed to me that that part of their opposition to abortion is that white babies are being killed. This in turn plays to their unspoken fear of being "outbred" by other races, much as this Hindu pundit fears being outbred by Muslims. I'm not saying this is the sole, or even the primary, reason for their opposition to abortion specifically and birth control in general, but I've long suspected that it is a factor.
