In an article on The Politico website about the problems that Republican Presidential candidates are having with the abortion issue, Rudy Giuliani’s spokesperson says something interesting –
“He presided over a decline of abortions, promoted adoption as a real alternative and saw adoptions increase and abortions decrease,” says Comella.
It’s true that the abortion rate went down in the country and New York City during the Clinton years which largely paralled the Giuliani administration. But I don’t remember any city sponsored drives to promote adoption instead of abortion. Does anybody out there think this really happened?
