Well, I would consider shooting the rapist dead an uncalled for escalation of force. I would not use lethal force unless it was necessary. Killing the rapist would probably be considered manslaughter, as long as it is obvious that only a rape is going on. However, if the rapist is or is likely about to seriously injure/kill the child, then I would definitely authorize the use of deadly force. It's a judgment thing. Pedophiles also aren't really popular, either.
Both sides have a valid argument. It's basically either kill an unborn child or risk ruining a young woman's entire life.

And to establish a moral equivalence between the rapist, the child victim, and the fetus is absolutely reprehensible.
Your reasoning above is precisely the reason so many people (including me, the lifelong conservative Republican) find the Single-Issue Monomaniacal Anti-Abortion Party to be completely invested in staggering and jaw-dropping lunacy.
