Do miscarried infants go to heaven and [other] women's issues in LDS

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:

Whosoever who? Whosoever ME??

Note to my readers: I was scribbling down some thoughts for my book today after an amazing service and interview with a group of women last night. I’m still processing some of those things in my heart and mind, but I wanted to share a few thoughts from last night. Thanks again for reading my snippets. JKM


"I felt like a foreigner. While I was living in the [church] culture, I never really felt like I was a part of it... It always felt like I was on the outside looking in, and I would never really be part of that group. I was so frustrated… until I found Whosoever."((Paraphrased))
