Yes, they are. If the child comes before the commitment, then the likelihood of the mother having to raise the child by herself is pretty significant. Society, unfortunately, is far too accepting of absentee fathers.

The likelihood may rise, but until the parent actually leaves the house, there is no problem. An unmarried couple who decides to have kids and raise them together in a constructive way is in no way a detriment to society. The wedlock part is independently inconsequential.
