I never wanted Kara to be a mother while they were still trying to find Earth. That said, Kacey was the cutest thing!
The whole Farm issue with Kara was poorly done/explained. It made no sense that they were interested in her ovary because she was special. And because she was special, it seemed they'd have made 'other' arrangements for her.
Maybe the taking of the ovary could have been a compromise. Where most women they just hooked up to the machines like Sue-Shaun, with Kara they had other plans for her and yet wanted/needed every viable ovary. So, harvest one/both of hers and then shuttle her off to...whatever.
I could see a scenario where Leoben was promised her after the Simons got what they wanted first.
Per Deborah's comment: I never saw the show promoting 'better dead than raped'. To me, it was more 'better dead then hooked up to machines and used as a human incubator until death'. It was definitely a form of rape but that was the collateral result, not the intent. That, of course, was NOT the same as Sharon's suggestion that Kara could have been paired with someone she 'liked'. The context definitely shifts then.
