Sumario:The growing academic interest in analyzing “pro-life/pro-family” movements in Latin America has generated various labels to conceptualize these actors. Terms such as religious fundamentalism, neoconservatism, anti-gender movements, and anti-rights, among many others, are examples of these multiple terminologies. However, few works have debated these labels. In response to this gap, this article seeks to discuss the main labels proposed from the Latin American academia. To do this, three major typologies of categories are critically discussed: negative or "anti" concepts (anti-gender, anti-rights, anti-abortion, anti-feminism), concepts associated with the conservative nature of the movement (conservatism and neoconservatism) and those that highlight its religious imprint (fundamentalism, integrism, neointegrism and religious conservatism).
