Not true and it misses the point. Infant mortality was never over 50% and women aren't having significantly fewer children because of it. It's become impossible to raise even 1 kid for many couples. There is no financial, marital, or familial support anymore. Now that women have a choice via birth control, they aren't putting up with it.

You still need 2 working parents, few people want to balance a career and children. We're not designed for it. And their social help, while good for global standards, amounts to a fraction of the cost of having kids. In prehistory a whole village raised children and people barely worked. Social policies help but we need a global structural change.

Especially when you can't afford their education. Those are the best kind of voters.

It's important because the rhetoric of "we only want useful people" isn't true. It's not just about her, it's also about false rhetoric.
