I know this isn't the only reason but I think the bad reputation the first women will get is because society not only calls her sexually promiscuous but stupid as well. If you got pregnant three times to three different men it is very likely that contraceptives were not used and the man was not wearing a condom, so society will call her irresponsible and stupid since it is common knowledge that contraceptives and condoms will dramatically reduce the risk of pregnancy.

This can also assume that she may have sexually transmitted diseases. If a women who has sex once get an STD, she will instantly be labeled sluttier than a women who has sex 50 times but has never got an STD.

Even though it is unfair to those women that have gotten unwanted pregnancies and STDs, especially because of a broken condom or failed contraceptive, it is good, at least in my opinion, that we put more emphasis on safe sex than abstinence.
