Japanese Baby Machines (Fertility, Part I)

This will be an ongoing series of posts about fertility and immigration.

I will expose the stupidity (and the latent racism) of those policy makers who actively incentivise their citizens to produce babies and increase their nation's fertility - when there are more than enough people from developing countries willing to be constructive, exemplary citizens.

No, Japanese scientists haven't come up with a new ingenious way of producing babies, the Japanese health minister called Japanese women "Baby Machines", I'd love to know what reaction it has caused over there.

[Here is part 0 of this fertility series]

hopefully that minister will be forced to resign and another line in the sand will be drawn (like in Indonesia with polygany recently).
