Then I would try to collapse the BQ file to what would be the caseid in an IR file: qhclust qhnumber qline using a count of each of the dummy pregnancy variables that you could create using the line above.

Does this help:

use GHBQ7IFL.DTA, clear

gen wt = qweight/1000000

ta pregout, gen(pregout_dummy)
sort qhclust qhnumber qline
collapse (count) live = pregout_dummy1 ///
still = pregout_dummy2 ///
miscar = pregout_dummy3 ///
abor = pregout_dummy4 ///
, by(qhclust qhnumber qline)

save GHpregout.dta, replace

use GHIQ7IFL.dta, clear

merge 1:1 qhclust qhnumber qline using GHpregout

Once merged, you could create a binary variable for ever had an abortion (Y/N) if abor is greater than or equal to 1. Then you could cross tab with q578_1.
