What is known is that the
combination of legal abortion AND contraception dramatically reduces abortions.

Statistics, please? For equivalent countries. Romania and the Netherlands are NOT equivalent countries. You need to be very careful not to abuse statistics here.

For example, can you cite statists for two countries which both have similar demographics and in each of which contraception is freely available and encourged subsidized by the government for those who can't afford it, with one country where abortion is legal and the other where it is ion is consistently and severely punished? That would be a legitimate comparison.

I don't know what the abortion rate is in China, where abortion is legal, but I believe it's very high. Legal abortion doesn't always mean fewer abortions.
