While it's unsavory to force the woman to do anything, you have to consider that she is the rapist in this situation and the man an unwilling accomplice. In cases of rape with women we are even more likely to agree that the decision is 100% hers because she is the victim...how does this logic not follow when reversed?
it's a tough question.

How is it a tough question? We cannot force citizens to do things beyond those provisions allowed by law, such as imprisonment (and in some states, the penalty of death). In some states we can force a forfeiture of property when involved or as a result of criminal activity, but 'property' in this case does not apply to the woman nor her fetus, regardless of its viability.
The answer is simple; the woman retains 100% custody. We cannot force adoption nor abortion, nor can we unfairly burden the raped man to incur further financial (and emotional) duress at the hands of the perpetrator. What other RATIONAL options would you purpose?
