Sweden got 18 weeks of free abortion and 4 weeks when the women need to have a special permission to be allowed to have an abortion. Right now the Swedish politicians are discussing if foreign womens should be allowed to have an (late) abortion in Sweden, and much suggests that the parliament will vote in favour for that proposition. In the 1960's the government decided to reduce the school education about [[Christianity]]. In 2000 the Evangelical [[Lutheran Church]] and the government was separated. Before that all children were born members of the church, except those whose parent took an active decision against it and both left the church. Even if a child were not christned he or she became a member for life, having to pay a small tax to the church.

Sweden has high taxes and strong trade unions. Even if Sweden has now got a new government instead of the old one, socialistic one, it's still a country where socialism is strong. Fredrik Reinfeldt says that he is not going to destroy the Swedish model - in fact he says he likes that model - he only wants to do some small changes. And despite that one of the parties in the government alliance is named "The Christian democrats", no decisions have been made to make christianity stronger in Sweden.
