Well given the child is unable to make a decision, I believe the mother is our next best bet. That, and also that the child's conception was only possible through her actions and fertility should hold some value.

No. The mother does hold power over the child, but not on the scale of life and death (out side of select circumstances). This is in the same sense of the mother cannot abuse, or violate human rights of the child just because she is the mother.
