As a person who is the result of rape....I can't agree with your position though I do understand the emotion behind the thought.
I found my biomother in 2003 and spoke to her exactly 2 years to the day before she died. While it was hard for her to have had me find her, and no doubt it brought back stressful and painful memories, at the same time, by her own words, it meant everything to her to hear me tell her how courageous she was and how grateful I am for her sacrifice and the opportunity to have a great life.

I am glad you were able to bring comfort to your biological mother, particularly in her last years.

It must have meant a lot to her and it was obviously also important to you too.

She must have been tremendously brave, as you say.

However, I am sure there are rape victims who are maybe not quite so brave, whose actions in a similar situation might have been different.
