This article aims at examining the performance of conservative and anti-rights political groups and the intersection between religion, gender, and sexuality in contemporary Brazilian politics through an analysis of bills presented during the 56th Legislature (2019-2020) that deal with abortion. This descriptive study applies a mixed-methods approach to legislative procedures, by considering the place of origin, religion, gender, and political party affiliations of parliamentarians who presented those bills. It queries the themes under debate around sexual and reproductive rights and to which public policies they oppose. In the first part of the article, we approach the articulation between religion, gender, and sexuality in the field of politics, pointing out how the conservative discourse of Catholic and Evangelical "pro-life" religious activism is reaffirmed and reproduced through a particular sexual policyby the political conservatism that prevails in Brazil's contemporary political scenario. Finally, the results obtained through the study of the proposed bills are presented, coupled with some theoretical and methodological considerations based on the sources chosen and on the form of data composition
