It's a tough question because your solution is inadequate. It does NOT address the father's rights. (It doesn't burden him with financial and emotional weights, rightly so.) There are conflicting rights for the father and mother. Let's say that the man who was raped WANTED the child to live, and the woman wanted to abort it? You're telling me that this man, who didn't even ask for the child but now that it is there is committed to bringing it into the world, will be denied that option because the woman bearing it has the right to both begin and end it without his consent?
I'm not saying I have a better solution. There's too much grey. But I am saying that I don't know of a single solution, including the one you've proposed, that is adequate.
Which is why it is beneficial to discuss it, to see if there ARE better solutions.
