The thing is abortions generally prevent unwanted pregnancies like a pregnancy out of wedlock/relationship or a pregnancy from an affair or a pregnancy of a teen, but most studies suggest abortions don’t change family size significantly. Why? Because most mothers already decide on family size irrespective of when, so when they reach 3 or 4 kids or whatever is their number then they will get their tubes tied or whatever. There is obviously a reason why we don’t see huge families of 10-30 on the regular.
For a mandate on max family size, abortions would be required to avoid a significant fine or whatever. The reason and effect would be very different.
I believe the global number of artificial abortions is around 45 million per year.
