Financial help is not all it takes to stop abortions.

There are welfare states such as scandinavian ones where the financial help for having children and/or being a single mother is very generous.

A single mother with 6 children can receive financial aid to the equivalent of a senior software engineer salary without having to work at all. Source: https://www.expressen.se/gt/gt-granskar/shukri-hade-fatt-lik...

Even with these levels of financial support, abortions are common - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Sweden#Trends

I'd just like to point out that raising 6 kids is very much hard work, even if you're a bad parent I find it hard to describe it as no work at all.

Your data shows that the trend of abortion in Sweden is stable since the 70s. So, no, there is no correlation between abortion and a decrease in birth rates.
