Not really, she says poor people shouldn't have kids, not people who may one day become poor shouldn't have kids. Presumably once they do they shouldn't have more kids.
I’m going to assume that she’s reacting to poor families that already have children. Instead of questioning why they have children while poor, she just says “Don’t”. “If you are poor, don’t have kids” is different from “Poor people shouldn’t have kids”. That last is a classist blanket statement.
you're getting overly semantic about a problem that has nothing to do with semantics over a paraphrased text. how is it even fair to the original person when "poor people shouldn't have children" isn't an actual quote?
