Abortions declined IN SPITE OF RUDY not because of him.
What Rooty Toot NEVER wants to admit is that abortions fell nationwide during the 1990 at a rate of about 20%, which is much higher than the decline of 17% that Rooty claims for NYC.
Rooty’s claims of increasing adoptions are also hollow. The adoption rate has been going up dramatically for the past fifteen years or so. However, this is because it has gotten a lot easier to adopt babies from China and Eastern Europe. Rooty had nothing to do with this. The reality is that for all intents and purposes there aren’t any “unwanted” babies born in the United States — parents even want their babies or they are aborted.
