It's heavily right wing politics that are pushing for people to have more children, however none of their policies actually facilitate that happening. Their push to increase wealth inequality, increase pricing and decrease availability and affordability of housing, child care and medical care all contribute to people not wanting to have children.
Their policies are not consistent with their states end goals.
