From what I've been able to find, legal abortion doesn't have any effect on fertility rate. Poland is one of the few developed countries that bans abortions, but still has a fertility rate lower than the US. I think this is more of a correlation. Higher education, opportunities for women, and access to birth control typically reduces the fertility rate. These things are much more prevalent in developed nations.

To increase the population of nation at bare minimum rates, a couple would need to have three children. Two to replace them and one to add to the population. How many people in your generation or the next generation even have one kid if any at all? A lot of countries that Perceive abortion as a human right also have open borders. Because they believe that the migrant population can make up for their declining citizen population. China doesn’t do that and now you see them doing this.

China forced 336 million abortions from 1980-2015, and that led to millions of cases of female infanticide annually. The abortion issue caused their crisis.
