Different person, but broken can happen across class and take different forms. However, lower income families tend to mean higher rates of child abuse and more single parent households. Single parent households have been linked to lower educational and economic attainment and higher incarceration rates. So while it can happen across the spectrum, it does seem to have some correlation.

I know. But is the conclusion here, that low income people should not get kids? If that's the point OP made (which I doubt, but still asked to reassure), I disagree wholeheartedly.
I don't think there was any proposal given. Seemed like they made a statement that some people shouldn't have kids if they can't be responsible. I don't think there's any ethical way to delineate and enforce that.
