they are potential mothers because they are

"they are potential mothers because they are of reproductive age". I suggest using "reproductive age" so that you don't repeat child-bearing age.
In fact, "edad reproductiva" is actually redundant, as you already have "en edad fertil" in the sentence.

Important to note here that "por" is "because" or "since", and not "for".
