Yes. Not implicitly, explicitly. That’s how I was born and suffered for 20 years until I earned my way out of poorness.

> What do poor people have to do to have kids "responsibly", in your view?

If you can’t give your kid what other parents can (and I’m not talking about obscene gifts, just basic activities such as going to clubs, or attending social places) - you shouldn’t have kids.

You are incorrect.

What if you can give them positive things that money can't buy?

Do all rich kids get the benefit of wisdom, experience, compassion, joy?

I grew up poor, my life is awesome now, so you are wrong in at least one case :)
