That line is what the author no doubt believes is a clever wink and nod to Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal. This article is satire.
Shitty satire, at that, where the author believes you’ll be proven hypocritical if you disagree and he will be proven correct by your reaction to the article.
That is to say, the author isn’t actually advocating for taking kids away from their parents at birth, he just believes you’re hypocritical if you think there’s a difference between that and banning abortion while encouraging giving up children for adoption, or taking kids away from people who claim to be their parents at the border but could be child traffickers.
I'm sure I read a similar proposal made sincerely, but I can't remember where I read it. As I recall, the proposal called for all children to become wards of the state and be raised in government run boarding schools. This way, no one would have an advantage due to familial connections or home life.
I don't doubt that some regressives (especially childless ones) actually believe this shit. I just think most of them wank over this shit as some kind of proof that there is no far left because they would never do anything so evil like the far right (supposedly) does.
The real problem with regressives IMO is just how easily they likely could be convinced that something like this is a good idea should their masters decide it is so. If you asked them a few years back if they would support mandatory experimental vaccines they would probably have said no, yet here we are.
