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.
