I have already passed the testing for the job(which is clerical). But during the training period, it was explained that no time off is allowed except if in hospital, no vacations no sick time no nada is allowed or will have to wait for next potential hirees.

Who's pregnant, you or the employer? If the employer's pregnant, she doesn't have to hire you. Nor if you're pregnant.

Yes I would hire someone who was pregnant but would have that baby long before taking the job. BECAUSE it matters NOT being pregnant, either you are a good worker, or you are not. I would find a heavily pregnant woman out WORKING to procure work that was working on her PhD while pregnant, insightful, hard working, and a VERY good bet as an employee, just for the fact that even pregnant she worked hard to get where she was. That is NO easy feat in and of itself. All the best mama! Anyone that would discriminate and NOT think this through doesn't deserve you! Go get 'em you are going to do very well.

Is it illegal to discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, if it doesn't impair your ability to perform the job's essential functions? Yes. Can they get away with it if they're slick? Yes.
They do it all the time.
If you walk in there showing, a savvy employer could simply decide that another employee was what they were looking for...and make no statements or annotations to the contrary. Then you'd have to prove their reasoning for being nonselected.
If you're superqualified for a job and they hire someone who's demonstrably less qualified, you might be able to make a case. If it's a case of equal qualifications, it's a bit murkier.

It depends on the job you applied for. If it deals with something that involves alot of physical activity then yeah, you can be rejected because you won't be able to fulfil the job requirements because you are pregnant. That's like hiring a chef who can't cook, ya know what I mean? But if it's a job that can be done well whether you are pregnant or not, then that is discrimination...which is VERY against the law.

No. Pregnancy is protected. However, an employee can not hire you because you are unable to perform the necessary functions of the job or for lying on an application or interview about questions related to ability to perform the job.

yes, absolutely. If I were an employer, I wouldn't hire you knowing that you may be out due to difficulties then you would be out for pregnancy leave with the possibility you may or may not come back. People get hired to work.

If being pregnant would specifically prevent you from performing your job, yes.
