RE: Rapists have parental rights in 31 states
Sounds like more rights than some of my divorced, male co-workers have.

They actually have parental rights in every state
Troxel v. Granville
530 U.S. 57 (2000)
JUSTICE O’CONNOR, joined by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE GINSBURG, and JUSTICE BREYER, concluded that § 26.10.160(3), as applied to Granville and her family, violates her due process right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of her daughters. Pp.63-75.
(a) The Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause has a substantive component that “provides heightened protection against government interference with certain fundamental rights and liberty interests,” Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U. S. 702, 720, including parents’ fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children, see, e. g., Stanley v. Illinois, 405 U. S. 645, 651. Pp.63-66.

At least the rape victim is not forced to marry the rapist.

RE: Rapists have parental rights in 31 states
Do parental rights in this use inherently mean having custody of the child, or is it more of a legal distinction which allows the state or rape victim to go after the rapist for child-support?

That is probably a Muslim thing.
