Essentially, with or without a toilet most people in rural India still prefer to crap wherever.
I suggest you have this article handy the next time a nose-pierced, mocha-sipping fattie in the US bitches about how companies don't offer enough paid maternity leave.

New research suggests pregnant women who defecate in the open are more likely to have a premature delivery or give birth to a baby with low weight than those who use toilets.
Among the rural and tribal women studied, almost 60% said they had no access to toilets when questioned during the first three months of their pregnancy, while of the 40% who did live in a household with one installed, more than half reported using it rarely or a few times a week.
