They don't cover it in name but sexual harassment laws (asking when a child was concieved and making employment decisions based on that information is certainly sexual harassment) certainly cover it, and anti-discrimination laws are just another rabbit out of that same hat.
Furthermore, a man would probably not be fired for the same offense, because there would be little to no reason to ever ask that question of a man, who would be less likely to take FMLA due to pregnancy. Hence, discrimination.
Was pregant=got pregnant in many ways. Had she been unmarried and pregnant while on a job interview and found out that they didn't hire her specifically for the reason that she was pregnant she'd have (IMO) a pretty strong case there, too.
