Abstract
This thesis analyzes empirical and cultural credibility of arguments employed by activists in
favor and against abortion legalization in Argentina. Empirical credibility is associated with
facts and data, while cultural credibility is related to shared morals and values. The project
focuses on national cultural and historical contextualization of both movements, and on
religious influence in contemporary conservative politics in Latin America. Moreover, it
studies how both movements employ the same arguments with opposite meanings in order to
contradict each other.
