For women who have had an abortion, ABORYSOCIAL indicates whether one reason that motivated the woman to remove her pregnancy was that she did not want others to know that she had sexual intercourse or that she was pregnant. Women could report more than one motivating reason for the abortion.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.
