Refusing to hire a woman because she's pregnant is illegal in many countries based on gender discrimination so this depends on where you live.
In the US this applies, from Lawyers.com:
Under the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act, it's against the law to refuse to hire someone because she's pregnant. An employer cant refuse to hire a pregnant woman because of her pregnancy, because of a pregnancy-related condition, or because of the prejudices of co-workers, clients or customers.
An employer can't require a pregnant women to submit to special procedures or tests to determine whether she can perform her job unless the employer requires all employees or applicants to submit to those same procedures or tests.
