The number of abortions have decreased faster under democratic presidents than the "pro-life" Republican presidents. The national debt has gone down under Democratic presidents than under the Republican ones.
There was the famous GHWBush's, "Read my lips: No new taxes," which didn't prove to be true during his presidency.
I wonder why those who oppose socialism are happy to receive their Social Security checks, and medicare benefits, and, in one case, was receiving government disability checks. They like the socialistic programs that benefit them; but oppose them when they benefit others.
Please show verifiable proof that the decrease in abortions and in national debt actually correlate with administrations.

While politifact takes some issues with the CDC's ability to collect data, they agree that the chart showing greater decreases in the number of abortions during democratic presidents is based on the (incomplete) numbers we have.
?? Your "verifiable proof" is an article that states:
"Moreover, experts said tying the abortion rate to the occupant of the White House alone is an oversimplification of a variety of factors that are at play.
We rate this claim Half True."
Oh... A little news for you as well:
