I'm Catholic, and I'd say that if a woman prefers to put her rapist's baby up for adoption, then it's entirely her choice. I wouldn't think any the less of her for it. Think about it: if a woman kept the baby, but was unable to love it because it reminded her of her ordeal too much, that child would have an awful time, so it would actually have been kinder to put it up for adoption.Christ didn't come to give us a whole set of rules to follow, he only asked us to love and respect each other, and to live a just life.
