The Pregnancy Discrimination Act covers you once you become pregnant regardless of whether or not it is before or after marriage.

“We request that Jarretta withdraw her complaint and consider the testimony of the Lord,” the letter concludes.

Yes, but their argument is that they wouldn't fire any pregnant woman, they'd fire any woman who had sex before marriage and her queries around maternity leave was only the way they found out about her "inappropriate" behavior.
