Just being present in the society without having sex with anyone won't do anything to the bloodline. Agreed.

But, the Grounders is all about survival and maybe they had included 'the deformed' in their society before and something happened, or it could be just be a superstition that they are bad luck for the clan.

I guess their logic is the same as a mother hen or any other animal leaving the lame baby behind. They don't want their pack weaken - no matter how in poor taste it is.
