That seems very implausible. 

Fifty years ago, there were more restrictions on birth control and
essentially no sex education in schools, and illegitimacy rates were much
lower. More generally, both information about birth control and
availability of birth control are greater in the U.S. at present than in
most historical societies--yet our illegitimacy rate is enormously high by
historical standards. The question of what the real explanation is is an
interesting one, but I don't think the explanation you offer can be
correct.
