I've no idea what he commented, but raging against the system while reasonable by itself might or might not be related to this particular story.
We only know that a woman died and in the wake of that a baby had no one to take care of them for a few days, which is tragic but doesn't mean that particular woman was forced to have a baby she didn't want or didn't have the level of support that one would have expected her to need, we just don't have details.
So one totally hypothetical narrative that also fits the information as given:
You can of course have a narrative more consistent with the complaint about lack of support:
Or the mother had some medical condition that was undiagnosed due to lack of money to attend.
All of the stories are possible, and real examples of the supporting scenarios can be readily found, but we can't assume this specific incident is part of that narrative with details as scant as this. Assuming unspecified facts to fit a narrative can lead to a credibility issue if subsequent details show that none of those actually applied in this situation.
