The fact she's black feels like it's not really needed in this story. This is about her being able to make babies. Throwing in "who is black" is trying to make this about race instead of it being about abortion.
Looks like the article is clear why her being Black is important. Here's an example:
LEO and DAs always have to look strong. The weaker the offender, the stronger they look.

Women of color are more likely to die during pregnancy, abortion is deeply rooted in racsim. ~~conservatives~~ racists want people of color to die and white women to make more white babies.
Intersectional theory is a thing, check it out
The article did mention that black mothers are much more likely to have CPS called on them when coming in for prenatal care and that legal matters around pregnancy "overwhelmingly target black and brown women". The article seems to support that notion. However, there are a lot of elements to this case that make it very unique, even without racial consideration.
No way this is an issue for a rich white lady. The police would bring her a trauma blanket and coffee to get over her ordeal. (But since she's black she must have done something to cause the miscarriage so she needs to be persecuted.) that's how are justice system works if you didn't know
