It's not even a solution for the problem. Making the baby is super easy, being pregnant is relatively easy compared to raising the kid, having the kid is pretty difficult for a day or two then you've got a few weeks of recovery. The hard part comes in the following 5-10 years.

40-50 years if you are in the unlucky 1-5% and have a child with a severe developmental issue.

The chances are low, lower if it's legal to do an abortion on a fetus with the associated markers, but they're still there. Parents may never not have a child to care for, one who can not reciprocate in their later years.
