This article conducts a comparative analysis of the anti-rights narratives presented during the parliamentary debates on the decriminalization of voluntary abortion in Mexico and Argentina from 2018 to 2022. Four main categories were identified, the first being the technocratization of Catholic and Evangelical religious discourse, strategically based on scientific and legal arguments through a rhetoric of fear. The second was the deterministic denunciation of the failure of the state, its institutions, and public policies to address social problems such as violence against women, insecurity, and poverty. The third consisted of the proposal of alternatives based on the defense of the traditional family, such as adoption from conception or the debureaucratization of adoption. The fourth and last category comprised a discursive shift appropriating arguments from feminist militancy while suppressing the principle of secularism, omitting the existence of the LGBTIQ+ movement and manipulating the rhetorical device of gender ideology.

Palabras llave : Life from conception; Family; Adoption; Anti-gender; Neoconservatives; Anti-rights.
