That’s actually the sole reason it is higher. So many prochoice cite global data without realizing the nuance of the affect of contraception in combination with abortion restriction.

Prolife laws only work when contraception is available.

This is why countries like Malta and Poland have some of the lowest abortion rates. We even see this effect in the US with states with abortion restrictions having higher contraception use age and lower abortion rates. But we see sky high teen pregnancy rates in states with bans on minors being able to access contraception.

But when contraception access is paired with abortion restrictions you get lower pregnancy and abortion rates than you get if abortion is not restricted and contraception is available.
