I know a woman who was a teacher in 1971 in New Jersey, and was pregnant.
She was not under any pressure to resign, nor was there any date she was told she had to leave based upon the time she was pregnant.
She voluntarily left her job shortly before the baby was due. She then decided on her own to take a break from teaching as she took care of the baby. Some years passed, and she had two more children. She never went back to teaching, and took on a different career, which was more conducive to working from home.
Who was that woman?
My mother. And I was the baby growing in her belly in 1971 and early 1972.
That's not to say that every New Jersey school district was the same, because they weren't. It's possible that the one where Warren worked had an asshole principal who had a bug up his ass regarding pregnant teachers.
Unfortunately, this one is impossible to prove or disprove. The principal is dead, and no one around from back then can seem to corroborate or refute the story.
However, Politifact (which actually leans somewhat left) did point out that Warren gave a completely different story about her departure from teaching, while on the campaign trail in 2007:
"I was married at 19 and then graduated from college, actually, after I’d married," Warren said in an interview on a show produced by the University of California, Berkeley. "And my first year post-graduation, I worked — it was in a public school system, but I worked with the children with disabilities. And I did that for a year. And then that summer — I actually didn’t have the education courses, so I was on an ‘emergency certificate,’ it was called."
So, Warren indicates that her lack of credentials might have been an issue. Regardless, the school board offered to renew her job.
Warren noted that she later "went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, ‘I don’t think this is going to work out for me.’ And I was pregnant with my first baby. So, I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, ‘What am I going to do?’ And my husband’s view of it was, ‘Stay home. We have children, we’ll have more children, you’ll love this.’ And I was very restless about it."
Warren’s story is different as a senator and on the presidential campaign trail.

These are Warren's own words, and they directly contradict the narrative she spun just 7 years later in 2014, regarding being forced out of a job due to pregnancy.
So even if Warren is telling the truth now, she told a very detailed lie in 2007, which should be equally disturbing.
Couple that with her silly lies about her supposed Native American ancestry, and it's clear that Warren isn't nearly as genuine as she wants you to believe.
And she does have some kind of obsession with being seen as a victim, which has been tough because she's white, college educated, and wealthy.
