Abstract 

Pregnancy interruption policies are distinguished by orienting opinions, decisions and behaviors towards the individual request for abortion, even when the literature indicates that the choice of partner is defined by the group closest to the person, government strategies seem Focus on the personal reasons of the person requesting the service. The objective of this work was to establish the sociopolitical and sociocognitive dimensions of abortion. A documentary, exploratory and psychometric work was carried out with a sample of 100 students from a public university selected for their internships and professional service in public health institutions. The results show a reduction to three factors of the six reported in the literature. The reduction to three factors and eleven indicators is recommended in order to adjust the instrument to the sample and its scenario of expectations of termination of pregnancy.
