Abstract
In Latin America, a political process for the recognition of sexual and reproductive rights has generated a series of disputes between opposing sectors. On one hand, feminist and LGBTTI movements struggle for the inclusion and broadening of these rights in public policies. On the other hand, a more complex opposition activism is consolidating, that transcends the religious actors that have historically defended conservative sexual morals. From civil society, a series of Catholic NGOs have been formed that privilege legal strategies and the use of human rights language as strategies for political and social impact. This paper identifies and analyzes the configuration and evolution of the Catholic self-proclaimed “pro-life” NGOs in Argentina and their concrete actions before the courts.
