> There is 0 correlation between anti-abortion laws and birth rates.
It is a strong claim. Can you point to data from Poland that there is no correlation?
Of course it is anecdata, but while I do women who openly stated they are not going to risk it (as they are of higher age, or had previous complications). Some moved to other countries.
On the contrary, it is hard to imagine that "thanks to making it riskier, I decided to have kids".

No I can't, because I don't know how you would isolate this from the other effects. In general, if you look at countries, it's not correlated.

But I can perfectly well imagine women who don't think ahead, then end up having to carry the baby to term because they can't abort. I might agree with you that this measure will shift the birth rates from higher income classes to lower income classes.
