Rudy Giuliani's Faulty Cause Fallacy

 Rudy Giuliani the former New York City mayor stated that "we increased adoption by 133% over the eight years before I came into office. And we found that abortions went down by 18% during that period of time. I believe we can do that in the United States."

What he is trying to make people believe here is that adoption numbers went up because abortion numbers went down. This is a faulty cause fallacy. There is no evidence of this being the reason.
