It's not illegal to fire someone who is pregnant. It's illegal to fire someone because they're pregnant. You have to be able to point to another reason, such as performance.

Meaning, if you're doing layoffs, and you thought to yourself, "Let's fire person X! They're about to have a kid and won't even be around for two months. That'd be a waste of money!", you would be breaking the law.

In a civilized nation, that certainly would be the case. You're probably right that parent meant USA instead.

A court case could determine through discovery if it was really "restructuring" or just an excuse to fire this one person in particular.

We don't not have enough information to make an educated assessment here.

Hint: the restructuring is most probably a made up excuse, they just wanted the pregnant lady gone.

Hmm, it should be a slam-dunk case, the lawyer just needs to ask "Show the court all the paperwork regarding this 'restructuring'. What structures were before, what are they now, and what's the rationale?".
