because they were the lowest classes in a communitys society
In "The Giver," birthmothers are young girls who bear children for the community and are not allowed to raise their own offspring. They are trained and conditioned to see childbirth as a duty and not an emotional experience. Birthmothers' children are assigned to other families, while they are given other roles in the community.
Being assigned as a Birthmother is considered a low and not honorable assignment in "The Giver." This role involves giving birth to three children in the Birthmothers' dormitory and then later working in the Fish Hatchery. Birthmothers are seen as having a less important role in the community compared to other assignments.

In "The Giver," the birthmothers are not allowed to see the new children they give birth to because they are not meant to form emotional attachments to them. The children are immediately taken to the Nurturing Center where they are cared for and raised by a team of professionals to ensure a sense of detachment and lack of personal connection from the birthmothers. This is part of the community's efforts to control and regulate human emotions and relationships.
In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the birthmothers are responsible for producing and delivering babies for the community. Once they give birth, they care for the newchild briefly before they are assigned to another role in the society.

Mother discourages Lily from wanting an assignment as a birthmother in "The Giver" because it is seen as a less desirable and less prestigious role in their society. Birthmothers are not given the same level of respect as other roles, and it is considered a lower status assignment. Additionally, birthmothers are usually only allowed to have three births before being assigned to less desirable work.
The sameness of the community and the chooses that they made. Like how they didn't want everyone to have memories like the Giver did or how the wanted everyone color blind so that there would be difference in between everyone. Almost everyone looked alike because the birthmothers had to resemble one another.
In "The Giver," mothering is seen as a duty performed by assigned Birthmothers, who are chosen to bear children for the community as opposed to natural conception. The society views mothering more as a role to fulfill rather than a personal experience. The lack of emotional connection and individualistic care in raising children is evident in the novel.
