If the pregnancy interferes with that employee's ability to perform a specific job, and further reasonable accommodation cannot be made, then they may have been within their rights to let that employee go. Having a wife who is a teacher and two children, I know that being pregnant does not interfere with the ability to teach.

Its not the pregnancy that the administrator objected to, so much as it was the time off that would be given post-partum. The employee was doing her job without difficulty.
Also factoring in is that the administrators here get bonuses for cutting costs, and a woman about to deliver is a cost waiting to be cut.
