Media outlets in Argentina were thrown into a tizzy today about a supposed talk given by a political party allied with former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner that apparently taught high school kids how to perform abortions. “Carlos Pellegrini high school encouraged the usage of abortive pills,” reads a headline from Clarín, while La Nación claims that organizers were actually seeking students to support their stance: “the public repercussion from the talk raised alarm bells within the high school,” the article said. Many outlets used a featured image a leaflet promoting talks organized by Nuevo Encuentro that do teach how to perform an abortion using pills. However, they forgot to mention these talks are held in the party’s offices and that the debate held at Carlos Pellegrini was about decriminalization. It is a high school that is hard to get into and is traditionally very politicized.
