Probably. I would imagine educated women would likely have more resources and/or knowledge when it comes to circumventing these laws, but that's entirely speculation on my part. I'm not sure that really takes away from my point regarding single-parenthood though. I mean it seems rather self-explanatory that lack of access to birth control methods would naturally lead to more unwanted pregnancies and more unwanted births.

Education is also a good point though because I think we should also consider the lack of proper sex education in conservative regions of the world and how they often correlate with more unplanned pregnancies.

And you're making a big assumption that most births outside of marriage are unplanned.
Not at all. I'm just saying that North American puritanism is probably as much or more to blame for single-parent families than the sexual revolution.
