“Forced Hysterectomies At 30”: Japan Leader’s Bizarre Proposal To Boost Birth Rate Sparks Backlash
The minister suggested banning women from marrying after 25 and undergoing forced hysterectomies at 30, as well as restricting women’s access to university education from the age of 18.

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.”
Naoki Hyakuta reacts after one of his Conservative Party of Japan candidates was projected to win a seat in the general election on Oct. 27.
TOKYO – 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.”
He opined that doing so would prod them to have children and reverse the declining birthrate. The politician also proposed restricting women’s access to university education from the age of 18, allegedly to focus on producing more children.
The remarks came as he discussed the measures to tackle Japan’s declining birthrate, saying he was “hypothetically speaking of science fiction as a novelist.”
I want you to know the current state of Japanese politicians.

This dystopian idea was met with swift backlash, prompting Mr Hyakuta to apologize, claiming his comments were merely hypothetical and not his personal views. Many slammed the minister for his regressive and discriminatory comments, sparking concerns about women’s rights and reproductive freedom.
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.”
The Conservative Party of Japan gained three seats at the House of Representatives in the general election held in October. The party has met the criteria to be recognized as a political party under the relevant law.
Expressing outrage on the matter, Chizuru Higashi, an actress, said: “The idea of taking away reproductive ability if you have not had a child by the age of 30 is terrifying, even as a joke. Besides, do you think that the declining birth rate is the fault of women? Women cannot get pregnant on their own and they have no confidence about giving birth and raising children because their employment and income are not stable.
Author Issui Ogawa took particular issue with Mr Hyakuta’s attempt to downplay his remarks as “science fiction,” arguing that such language only serves to trivialise the harm caused by his words.
”I’m a science fiction writer and I’m not amused that the grotesque idea of removing a girl’s uterus was described as science fiction, while I’m also unhappy at the idea of forcing her to marry and give birth – with penalties attached,” he said.
Japan’s fertility crisis is a pressing concern, with the country struggling to address the challenges of an ageing population and shrinking workforce. This proposal follows other controversial measures aimed at encouraging marriage and procreation, such as incentives for women to marry men from rural areas, which were also met with backlash for being tone-deaf and overly simplistic.
Japan recorded 350,074 births between January and June, 5.7 per cent fewer compared to the same period last year, the health ministry’s preliminary report said.
What did Kirara Asuka say?
Well, Kirara Asuka thinks Japan should Ban Men from Marrying after if they haven’t accumulated at least $1M hard cold Cash at 25 and to undergo Vasectomy if they still haven’t saved at least $1M at 30, as well as restricting dudes’ access to University Education from the age of 18 (so that they can do whatever it takes to earn that crucial $1M bucks!
