Women's Issues in Mormonism
With each religion I have studied, I have made sure to gather information on important issues to women today. I feel like, as a modern woman, I want to know where my religion stands on issues that are important to me, or that have affected me personally. Issues like miscarriage, abortion and women's right to choose, marriage, divorce and remarriage, and sex...
Miscarriage - although the LDS Church does not appear to have an official stance on miscarriage and stillbirth/infant death, it appears that the general concensus is that babies born without the opportunity for life outside the womb will be waiting in eternity for their families to join them after their earthly lives. Stillborn children cannot be baptized or recieve endowment, and obviously they cannot marry, but it seems that most believe they will join their families in eternal life ever-after:
