As of now, the best assumption to make is that human babies were still a thing before the priest took the pregnant women and their infants, but the curse was acting up stronger as the days passed. By the time Leila and Haanja arrive at Arcezon Town, only abominations can be born from any human woman impregnated within the region of Arcezon -even Leila is afflicted by this curse once she loses her Blessing of Infertility. The game offers no clue that normal births are still happening; the only one who even tried was that young blond woman who almost gets eaten by the zombies, and you can deduce from her dialogue she acknowledged that trying for a baby with"what's his name" was a terrible idea (emphasis made in letting him come inside her as a mistake, not having sex in the first place). Should a future update reveal that human births can still happen, we should expect a good explanation or clues for a new headcanon. But as of now, this is what we have, this assumption based on our ideas and what the lore and dialogues offer, plus Leila's personal experiences when pregnant.I have every possible proof that babies get corrupted into broodlings. And it is your (as the accusator ) fucking job to find any examples of normal pregnancies happening in the game.
So far, it's YOUR headcanon that pregnancies can still go normally, despite every single example provided by the game telling that that is not the case.
All you have are your own headcanon and unproven speculations.
I believe it fits the worldbuilding quite well, even if disproved in the future. Think about it. The Abomination Outbreak is causing human extinction by killing villagers and stopping human births in the town, the region, and eventually further if the Otherworlder and its followers are not stopped in the short term. The Blessing of Infertility protects the Sisterhood from becoming mothers of demi-humans and abominations, or worse, when they become vessels/mothers of an Otherworlder; but the price is renouncing their chance as human mothers, which is why this protection would be suicide if applied to women in villages and towns threatened by an outbreak. A lack of human births, even if the towns remain protected for the most part, creates a sense of despair for the people and a sense of urgency and commitment for the Sisterhood: killing the monsters and the cults is not enough, they need to remove the hold the Otherworlder has on the land and its people by slaying its revealed form.
