Should a pregnant woman be allowed to kill herself?

Should a non pregnant woman be allowed to kill herself if in the process she also killed her 6 year old child?

I don't know what point you are trying to make here? If the fetus is self sustainable then the two situations are similar but still have significant difference. What if the 6 year old was still breast feeding from the mother and would starve without her (would refuse to eat or drink anything else)?

The question was asked about prolife people who (generally) are pro life because they believe the fetus is a human life and the mother has no right to kill it. From their view why would the reasoning be any different from that of forbidding a mother from killing herself by driving into a lake with her child in the car with her?
