Women “would have their uteruses removed when they turn over 30,” Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the Conservative Party of Japan, said in a stream on his YouTube channel on Friday.

On the channel, he also said that he would make it law for “women who are single after 25 years old not to be allowed to marry.”

(…)

Later, Hyakuta posted an apology on his X account. “I cannot deny that the expressions were too harsh,” he said. “I apologize for those who were offended.”

    Right, so to fight the declining birthrate, they entertain the idea that women over 25 should not be allowed to marry. And on top of that, women over the ripe, old age of 30 get their uteruses removed.

    I am sure this totally would serve as an incentive to breed more and not at all make existing problems worse.

    What a baka.

      Right? It doesn’t even make sense for their own world view. I kind of suspect a translation mistake, but then again there seems to be no limit to conservative idiocy.

      The only way it makes sense is to create an environment where women out of FOMO Mary and give birth early.

      Also imagine asking the same thing for men lol these people would lose their mind. But that’s just the usual hypocrisy

        They reason (and I want to stress that it’s their ideology, not mine) that men can keep doing crotchspawn when they are old. So the obvious solution is to force girls to marry and get breeded by men off all ages. /s but unfortunately not so much

          men can keep doing crotchspawn when they are old.

          But if women can’t, why would there be need for sterilization?

          I know you’re probably right, just trying to point out the absurdity.
