If anything, the proliferation of comprehensive sex education and access to contraceptives has brought the U.S. abortion rate to its lowest levels ever, below than what they were at when Roe v.

To the contrary, the rates were far, far lower before Roe v. Wade. The right to privacy is irrelevant.
They didn’t say that the rates were lower after Roe v. Wade. They said that the rates of abortion are lower now than they were at Roe v. Wade, which is true.

Unless somethings changed and I haven’t caught it anyway.
EDIT although It is worth adding that they said that the rates went down because of contraception and what not, which is kind of irrelevant to abortion but whatever I guess
