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.

You get it. Access to abortion is a good thing. It keeps kids out of families that aren’t ready for them or don’t want them.
Side note: if our species gestated in men rather than women, there would be drive through abortion places within a mile of every Home Depot.
