For the Wednesday night edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour thought it was appropriate to ask Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson to condemn the Supreme Court for its Dobbs ruling that struck down Roe v. Wade.
Following some discussion on Sweden’s imminent acceptance into NATO, Amanpour switched gears, “Can I just quickly switch a little bit to -- presumably you’ve all been having discussions with your other counterparts, including President Biden. I just wanted to ask you, you know, Sweden has, for a long time, had a certain feminist foreign policy. You know what's happened in the United States, the reversal of women's rights in the United States for the first time ever in the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.”
After referencing the January 6 hearings, Amanpour wondered, “What kind of things have you been saying to President Biden as you all talked about trying to maintain democracy in the world against Putin?”
Andersson avoided the January 6 bait, but was happy to play along on the abortion question, “Well, I mean, what is happening when it comes to women's rights in the United States is of course something that is worrying me and so many other women and men across the world. We in Sweden, we've had a feminist policy, a feminist government for many years now. And of course, we stand up for women's rights all over the world.”
Of course, Andersson was doing this interview from the NATO summit in Madrid because Sweden feels it is compelled to join the real world and yet she is unwisely commenting on the internal affairs of her new ally, “I'm so worried that the decision in the United States will make so many women suffer, both for their lives and for their health because this is what we see in countries where abortions aren't legal.”
Not only did Amanpour promote abortion and ask a foreign leader and soon to be ally to condemn Americans, her framing wasn’t even accurate. For one thing, Dobbs made America more democratic and secondly, Sweden’s abortion limit is 18 weeks, something Roe and Casey wouldn’t have allowed.

Anyone that lionized George Floyd and vilifies Clarence Thomas ought to just keep their fool mouth shut.
Any more proof needed that these people are liberal activists? They did this with Boris Johnson too.
Woah - who would have thought you could have a feminist foreign policy? That’s... amazing
The baby-killing-fetish continues to rage among hardened hearts.
I guess since we are the greatest most wonderful most POWERFUL Nation in the whole world, other countries have a right to tell us how we should govern.
Agreed. The Prime Minister should have said that the matter is internal to the US and that Sweden takes no particular position on how the US handles its abortion laws.
That washed out libtard beotch is still working??? Isnt she like 90???
Nothing like trashing a branch of our Govt. while overseas.
The doddering old pedo-fool did it today as well
Asking Sweden to mettle in our domestic affairs.
Hmm, our version of Carl-Olof Cronstedt.
I, for one, welcome these stories AND their getting headlines.
Just like Trump's election caused a pro-liberty domino effect globally, Dobbs will likely impact other nations' abortion policies/embolden prolife groups globally.
What you're seeing is left statist attempts to head off at the pass the inevitable.
Are you all sick to death yet of this global meddling in everyones elses business yet? I don’t care what some goofy Swede thinks about Dobbs.
Their feminist foreign policy really means that they need American Soldier to protect them. Otherwise they wouldn’t need NATO. Face it. The USA is NATO. American taxpayers fund the lions share of European defense. President Trump was blasted for telling foreign countries they needed to do their part or we would withdraw troops. Look who’s all worried now.
Well that would be one big DUH for the woke crowd.
OK, so they would open the door, but only women who were up to 20 weeks pregnant. Right? As that’s their law in Sweden, right?
Amanwhore is meddling in US politics.
Is this heinous witch still on the air? I guess so.
“Their feminist foreign policy really means that they need American Soldier to protect them.”
Yeah, it’s a strange concept, feminist foreign policy... wonder how that would work in a shooting war lmfao
