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.”
Conservative Party Leader…
No that’s not some random lunatic.
The Japanese Conservative Party has almost no power. They are considered extremists. They really are just a bunch of loony toons that get almost no press coverage outside of bullshit like this.
The ruling Liberal Party is the non-extremist conservative party. (The irony is not lost on me.)
It’s the same in Australia. Something about the pacific must make parties switch places.
