Abstract

The article examines efforts being made by conservative religious activists and right-wing groups to limit sexual and reproductive rights in Mexico and Central America. Particular focus is given to the logistics and tactics of these religious and conservative groups. Additional topics discussed include the organization "Fighting for Life, Faith, and Family," propaganda films that have been produced and Catholicism and how it has been on the decline since the 1970 and the total ban on abortion in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras.
