Well until modern medicine came along, giving access to doctor-provided on-demand abortion, it may be reasonable to say that per capita, more kids lived, than died. So is the answer to your question “what women did was be a mom more often”? Ridiculous argument.
Modern obstetrics existed from 1920-1970, which coincided with the greatest decline in infant mortality in history.
Modern obstetrics does not equal abortion.
