I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was illegal for an employer to ask during an interview if you're pregnant. Also, is it illegal for them to say they will not hire you just because you're pregnant?
Story:
I went on an interview about 2 weeks ago. I was very excited because I needed a 2nd job, and the woman all but told me on the phone that she was going to hire me. Well, on the way to her office, I had to move out of someone's way and (out of habit) touched my hand to my stomach. She stared at my stomach for a few seconds and we continued to her office. As soon as we got into her office, she began to ask me if I had any kids, was I planning on having any more soon, and then she looked at me and asked "Are you pregnant now?" I just looked at her, not wanting to answer. She shook her head and got this disappointed look on her face and said that if I was pregnant, she would not hire me. She asked some more questions, but none of them were about the job or my application, she was just making conversation.
I've heard different things, but I would like to know if this is legal or not. Also, are there any special conditions that would allow her to ask such questions? I live in Missouri and was 25 weeks pregnant at the time (but just looking pudgy, not pregnant).

& I wouldn't want to discriminate law or not.
