Yanagisawa reluctant to ‘baby hatch’ project

Hakuo Yanagisawa, Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Minister , who -as a sidenote- rose  to prominence after his “baby-making machines” theory , is still reluctant to the ‘baby hatch’ scheme, a project to implement hatches in hospitals where parents can drop off unwanted infants anonymously.

Personally, I have doubts about the scheme, considering parents’ responsibility and its impact on society.While the facility retrofit certainly does not infringe the law, I will carefully watch the development of the situation from now on

This doesn’t quite make sense to me. These hatches seem to fit just well in the ‘babies mass production’ theory coined by Mr.Yanagasiwa.
