Not bad at all! To expand on that, could it be that the Island has to give "permission" for a baby and mother to survive? Maybe the reason they can't have them now is because the Island knows Ben lied and he's being punished. That could be how the theme of faith and science tie in - Jacob (who might represent the Island) abhors technology, Ben is trying to use technology to beat him at his own game, but he has been punished with failures? In desperation he's brought specialists to see if science can win out.
What if Looking Glass is the only place far enough from the Island where a woman can both safely conceive and avoid detection by the Island, by Jacob, by Smokey, and by whatever else may still be out there?
