That is crazy. It's not what she said.

She said that large families, as institutions, are so ill-equipped to support their children that many of those children die, and we can infer from that death rate that those children who do survive suffer poor health and live lives in poverty so severe that we might suggest that it's a mercy that those who die do not experience those misfortunes.

You may well disagree with that sentiment, but it is nowhere near a suggestion that parents should murder their children.
