Unethical request
How would you handle being asked to fire a pregnant woman, so you would be fully staffed. Not that only, an employee that makes comments on female's anatomy. Take into account I was the Manager there at that time. I know how I handled it. Just want to see if I could have done something differently?
If the pregnant worker was hired by the manager and is doing her job than I would not fire her. How ever the employee that is using profanity should be given a warning and talk to all the employee's know that it's against he law to discriminate against all people.. And you never no for sure if some one might call in sick .It's better to have2.many employees than not enough. You can ask, if it's a slow day if some one wants to leave early.

Take your advice to the labor management manager and explain the situation involving what happened in regards the person being let go.
Dont know what you did but if you didnt use your position to contact the proper authority your no better than the rest of the tools
If you're going to fire someone, you'd better have a good enough reason that it would stand up in court should you face a discrimination challenge.
As for the employee, sit him down and explain that these types of comments won't be tolerated.
If her work was poor and there was documentation, then it isn't an unethical request. Being pregnant doesn't mean you get a free pass to not do your job. If there was something with her pregnancy that was affecting her performance, the best thing for the employee to do was to apply for FMLA. If her performance was good, she has a great case for discrimination. As a manger, I hate letting employees goes even when their performance calls for it. It is an awful feeling. Those who delight in it have a special place you know where.
If you're a pregnant worker, two federal laws protect your workplace rights. ... Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), your employer cannot discriminate against you in the terms of your employment on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions. The second law is the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Legal Rights for Pregnant Workers under Federal Law. If you are pregnant, have been pregnant, or may become pregnant, and if your employer has 15 or more employees, you are protected against pregnancy-based discrimination and harassment at work under federal law.
You know how you handled it, but not us. How did you handle it?
Hmm... If I were you, I would have fired , or cause the firing, of the fertility-averse, woman-objectifying pig who asked you to fire her. Hasn't he ever heard of maternity/family leave? Is he too cheap to hire a temp for say, four months? My niece went through the same game during her first pregnancy. She returned to work after the pregnancy. But that what Mexican managers do to their Mexican employees. Run them to the ground with Mexican labor laws, even in the United States! It's Christmas Eve, so enough of this, I'm disgusted!
I don't think you was wrong at all
First of all if the woman was able to do her job and wasn't asking for any special privileges I wouldn't fire her. I believe it's a discriminatory action. If she was not able to do her job because of some problem such as lifting or other issues that come up with pregnancy I would find out if there was another position she could be assigned to until her LOA for the birth of her child. I would not have fired her simply because I was asked. It's against the law in the first place or it use to be before the right to work laws for some states run by republicans that can now fire anyone for any reason and can hire slave labor to replace those that have been in positions for years just to get out of paying benefits and a decent wage.
