"The Church opposes abortion and counsels its members not to submit to or perform an abortion except in the rare cases where, in the opinion of competent medical counsel, the life or good health of the mother is seriously endangered or where the pregnancy was caused by rape and produces serious emotional trauma in the mother. Even then it should be done only after counseling with the local presiding priesthood authority and after receiving divine confirmation through prayer." How DARE you post this official position from the mormon church?
Now, prepare yourself for a reply consisting of a long list of "scriptures" that have nothing to do with the subject at hand, but which will probably chastize you for being a "natural man", (read non-mormon) and therefore morally wanting.

Mormons believe that the spirit is separate from the flesh. It is also interesting that Christ in the BOM appeared in the America’s before he was born.
In Mormon theology a body is a vessel that the spirit goes into. If a mother has a miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) it is generally recognized that the spirit will take the next body provided by that mother.
It is only during resurrection that the body and spirit are completely joined.
So, if you believe that abortion is always wrong, with no exceptions, do you consider the mother of a stillborn or a women who has a miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) a murderer?
