I think this is revisionist /trad/ history tbqh: throughout all of Christendom, single mothers were never held in high esteem

there were social conventions in place to compel men to marry, but the stigma fell on women and bastards, in general

yes, bc then as now, if the dad bails it's hard to prove it nonetheless, dads *were* expected to legitimize pregnancy then, and aren't now
