Many parents are leftists because they care about their childrens’ future. I think the impression that rightists have more kids is because rich people can afford to have more kids while poor people can’t. There are also weird religious beliefs that many far right rich people have that make them think they need to have as many (white) kids as possible while prominent “leftist” rich people are often Malthusian.
