Life isn't fair. The "punishment" of the mother is emotional. I don't want to downplay the harm to her psyche, but in my mind, her emotional comfort does not outweigh the life of the child. The woman is going to be "punished" with that emotional baggage the rest of her life, regardless of whether or not the child is born.
That kid was conceived out of an evil act. It should have never been there. You are so self righteous that, while I hope this never happens to a loved one of yours, I guarantee that you'd change your tune really quickly if this ever happened to you. It's easy to be self righteous behind your glass house, but when it comes crashing down around you, you'd join most sane people in thinking forcing a woman to give birth to her rapist's baby is just downright fricked up. If you would still force your hypothetical daughter to give birth to the kid, then you're a horrible human being.

Perhaps you should stop letting your emotions lead you through life.
