It seems like this is more based on stereotypes than anything else. I don't think political views impact the choice to have kids much. They will raise there kids differently but that's a totally separate thing.

You can see a pretty clear difference looking at fertility rates between red states and blue states. So there is definitely something to the idea.

What's a bit harder to sort out is whether it's because more conservatives are choosing to have kids in general, or if those who do are just more likely to have multiple kids.
