I think you may have a big misunderstanding of why people came to her defense. It wasn't because we necessarily agree with her points or way of arguing them, but because she was being repeatedly told that she was a rape apologist, or a supporter of rape, as well as a barrage of other insults. None of those were valid forms of criticism of her arguments; they were just rude comments and combined together they took on a rather nasty form of bullying.
I personally disagree with Catholic_Lady's views. I'm not a Catholic, I don't believe in God, and I don't believe in objective morality. However I at least will have the decency to listen to them and try to discuss them with her in a polite manner, without resorting to strawmen arguments and insults that try to paint her as someone who supports rape.
Maybe I'm sympathetic because in the past I've been called a racist, a wannabe member of the SS, etc. for some views I have regarding personal property and business. People jumped to my defense back then, and I'm doing the same to someone who has also been unfairly characterized.
