We present distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations for the polarization of outgoing protons resulting from ([pi][sup +],2[ital p]) reactions using a quasideuteron absorption model with phenomenological amplitudes for the [pi][ital NN] vertex. As an example of the interesting interference and distorted-wave effects that can be observed from such reactions, we study the case of a [sup 12]C target. Calculations are also compared to the recently published data for the nuclei [sup 3,4]He.
