No, you mean there may be a coincidence, but a coincidence does not mean a correlation.
Turns out, however, that there isn't even a coincidence. As I've pointed out, abortion rates were falling for six years before the welfare reform act was passed, and may have been rising in more recent years -- the years in which the harsher aspects of welfare reform (i.e. the five-year limits) actually began to take effect.
