If they want to know about the offspring then they should be able to know about it.
What they should not be able to do is command that a woman have a force abortion.
In my opinion, and I realize this may not be yours, a fetus is a biological event tied to a woman's body. At least until the point where the fetus is biologically viable on its own (haven't really come to a hard conclusion on that personally - maybe until birth). So as far as I am concerned it is part of her body. That makes it her decision. No matter how fucked up she is. No matter how evil she is.
To force her to have an abortion is akin to cutting off the hand of a thief. Is it a logical conclusion? In some sense, yes... You cut off the hand so the thief can not steal again - you abort the fetus so it will not cause more harm to the victim. But it is a cruel logic. Not the logic of a civilized society.
If the concern is actually that the victim may "be hooking up" with their offspring... As unlikely as that may be... There are other solutions for that. Iceland has a system in place already due to their relatively small, confined population.
