That's not what it says at all. It says 2.3% higher than states without abortion restrictions. It could still be declining.
Those states could also have higher birth rates anyway, irrespective of abortion laws. It's logical to assume that states that would lean conservative and restrict abortion have more babies and fewer abortions to begin with.

However, an analysis from November suggests that states with abortion bans had an average fertility rate that was 2.3% higher than states where abortion was not restricted in the first half of 2023, leading to about 32,000 more births than expected.
