Whedon said in an interview the plan had always been for Cordelia to go evil. Sound familiar? But her pregnancy required her to be evil in a different way because she couldn't handle the strenuous practice and shooting schedule required for the fight scenes. I don't remember if Whedon said whether she would have still ended up in a coma or Angel would have killed her in the S4 finale.At least Cordelia did not have a fake pregnancy a year before the real one too like Adalind in Grimm and Piper in Charmed.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
