Abe told parliament he had given a strong warning to Health Minister Hakuo Yanagisawa about his "inappropriate" phrase, and Yanagisawa himself apologised for "hurting women's feelings ".

Yanagisawa, 71, had been speaking to local lawmakers about Japan's rock-bottom birth rate, which has raised concerns about economic growth and the ability to fund ballooning pension costs.

"Because the number of birth-giving machines and devices is fixed, all we can ask for is for them to do their best per head, although it may not be so appropriate to call them machines," Kyodo quoted Yanagisawa as saying. Shiozaki was also grilled about the latest controversial remarks by Defence Minister Fumio Kyuma, who last week said US President George W Bush had been wrong to start the Iraq war on the assumption that Baghdad had nuclear weapons.
