       [DO NOT PROBE DK]
       The order in which abortion items M1b/M1b.T and M1c/M1c.T
       were administered was randomized.

       Randomization:  Randomization is documented within the
       collection of randomization variables that appear at the end of
       the Pre survey vars.  The question numbers for randomization
       variables closely follow survey question numbers, preceded by
       "Rand" [e.g. for questions A4/A5 there is a randomization
       variable Rand.A4/A5].

       1. BY LAW, ABORTION SHOULD NEVER BE PERMITTED.
       2. THE LAW SHOULD PERMIT ABORTION ONLY IN CASE OF RAPE, INCEST,
          OR WHEN THE WOMAN'S LIFE IS IN DANGER.
       3. THE LAW SHOULD PERMIT ABORTION FOR REASONS OTHER THAN RAPE,
          INCEST, OR DANGER TO THE WOMAN'S LIFE, BUT ONLY AFTER THE NEED FOR
          THE ABORTION HAS BEEN CLEARLY ESTABLISHED.
       4. BY LAW, A WOMAN SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ABORTION AS
          A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE.
