For example in 1800 in the US the infant mortality rate was nearly 50%.
So instead of dying from disease or complications with the birthing process modern babies die before they even get a chance to be born because mommy didn't want the inconvenience. Like most things that have changed since 1800 I'm not sure we're better off for it.

Only around 1-2% of pregnancies are aborted in the US as embryos in 2017 compared to HALF of all kids dying as an conscious infant.
It was in no conceivable way better in the past.
