The author is using satire to critique the modern obsession with equity, hence why he ended the piece with "brave new world", which is one of the most famous books about dystopian progressive future.

You can tell by the tone, but this gives it away:

Over on the right, Republicans are happy to jettison parents’ rights in pursuit of their greatest passions, like violating migrant rights. Once you’ve gone so far as to take immigrant children from their parents and put them in border concentration camps, it’s a short walk to separating all Americans from their progeny.
Universal orphanhood also dovetails nicely with the pro-life campaign to end abortion rights. In fact, a suggestion from Justice Amy Coney Barrett, during a recent case that could overturn Roe, inspired this column. She posited that abortion rights are no longer necessary because all 50 states now have “safe haven” laws allowing women to turn their babies over to authorities after birth. My proposal would merely make mandatory such handovers of babies to the state.

my proposal is quite modest
That said, it wasn't very funny.

"Quite modest proposal" and "brave new world" should give it away.
The best part is that it made it into yahoo.
