This is how you get shit like cisterns filled with hundreds of baby corpses, like was discovered in Ireland where abortion was illegal until 2018.

We saw plenty of this in the US before Roe vs Wade too, women would drop their unwanted babies into outhouses to drown and "disappear" and it would become a burdensome secret.

Banning abortion only results in literal dead babies along with dead or infertile mothers from botched "back alley" abortions. If you want to increase fertility, banning abortion is one of the worst ways to go about it.
