From the text:

There was a law against Luke.
Not him personally—everyone like him, kids who were born after their parents had already had two babies.
Actually, Luke didn’t know if there was anyone else like him. He wasn’t supposed to exist. Maybe he was the only one. They did things to women after they had their second baby, so they wouldn’t have any more. And if there was a mistake, and a woman got pregnant anyway, she was supposed to get rid of it.
That was how Mother had explained it, years ago, the first and only time Luke had asked why he had to hide.
He had been six years old.
