Cardinal Anders Arborelius from Sweden, attends the courtesy visit of relatives following a consistory for the creation of five new cardinals on June 28, 2017, at St Peter's basilica in the Vatican. Sweden's Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Stockholm called on the country’s Catholics to engage others in meaningful ways to protect the lives of the unborn.
In April, the European Parliament voted in favor of a resolution that would"enshrine the right to abortion in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights." However, in order for it to be included in the charter, all 27 member states must vote unanimously in favor, an outcome that currently seems unlikely. The Justice and Peace Commission explained that in Sweden, for example, a blank vote is classified as invalid and not counted in the allocation of seats between parties and candidates.
The cardinal acknowledged that Swedish Catholics are reluctant"to engage in party politics" and instead"have tried to influence people's consciences" in respecting the right to life"from conception to natural death."
