In Sweden, Midwives are Forced to Do Abortions: Now Priests are Told They Must Marry Same-Sex Couples or "Find Another Job"

Around half of the Church of Sweden bishops signed a letter condemning the introduction of same-sex "marriage" into the church.

He compared priests unwilling to perform same-sex "weddings" with midwives unwilling to participate in abortions. A Swedish high court recently ruled against a midwife who has fought for years not to be forced to help with abortions. The midwife, Ellinor Grimmark, is taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

The Social Democrat leader said his party is working to ensure all Church of Sweden priests will "marry" same-sex couples.

"I see parallels to the midwife who refuses to perform abortions," said Löfven. "If you work as a midwife, [you] must be able to perform abortions, otherwise you have to do something else. It is the same for priests" who do not want to conduct same-sex weddings.

"The church as an open democratic church is an organization that stands for human equality," he said. "The church will be an interesting arena for social democracy [for an] indefinite time."
