Yes, Zelena should have a say in what happens with her child. But only if that child was conceived under the right circumstances. She gave up her consent in her child's future when she took away Robin's consent to conceive it with her, remember he thought she was Marian.

That being said, I do sympathize with Zelena. All she wants is someone who loves her unconditionally, no matter what. If we had seen that motivation in Season 3, I think Zelena would've been so much more liked as a character.

Instead of trying to break the "You can't change the past" law to live life with Cora as a princess and eventual queen, she should've tried to break the "You can't bring back the dead" law to bring back her adoptive mother, who was the only one who showed genuine love to her. I think that was her motivation in season 3, but this makes her more so sympathetic because it wasn't covered in irrationality.
