No source, naturally.

You're resorting to trolling mentality - demand a source, provide your own, but only partially quote it so as to make it fit your opinion. I can quote the same editorial you do and have it say exactly the opposite. Your so-called quote wasn't in context - and neglected this statement, also from your article: "But he points out that during Giuliani's tenure as mayor, the number of abortions fell in New York City by more than the national average, and Giuliani did not actively promote policies that would have led to an increase in the number of abortions."

Nice try, troll.You're quoting the claims that were refuted.

However, Murdock's implicit effort to credit Giuliani with the declining number of abortions during his tenure as mayor goes too far. As Murdock acknowledges, the number of abortions was declining nationwide during this period -- obviously for demographic reasons -- and New York City merely reflected that trend. Unless Murdock can show that there was something special about Giuliani's public policies that reduced the number of abortions in New York City, which I doubt, I think he has over-reached in his efforts to prop up Giuliani's "social conservative" credentials.
