This R&D provides resources on Japan’s security bill.  Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is pushing the bill, which would allow Japan to send its military to fight overseas.  120,000 people gathered in Toyko last weekend to oppose the legislation.  Abe’s popularity is taking a hit due to his support for the bill, with 50% of Japanese voters telling pollsters that they oppose the bill.
