So much for supporting "choice"

Regarding a story about a prolife woman who was raped, gave birth to the child and eventually gave the child up for adoption, one commenter at the I'm Not Sorry blog had this to say:

Personally, I find no heroism whatsoever in such an act. Don't get me wrong; I fully support her right to make that choice, but, personally, I find it to be indescribably heinous. I mean, even Mary was given a choice whether or not to carry God's son in the Christian mythology, but the Catholic Church expects women to simply accept whatever abuse men hurl at them? Knowing what we do about the genetics of behavior, it is irresponsible and thoroughly repugnant to reward a rapist in such a fashion...
