I was watching Saturday's Warrior(YEAH...I know...old) and on there it showed how the oldest brother made a pact to the little girl in the pre-mortal life...but when his mom was pregnant with her, she had a miscarriage and the girl was like "why didn't *name* keep his promise?"
What happens to all the babies who are misscariaged or aborted?
Because I know the babies who are born but die before the years of accountability are saved and go to the Celestial Kingdom...but what if they're not even born and don't get a physical body?

Tiger, maybe they were giving you the answer, but you just kept rejecting it and that's why you were ostricized(or whatever the word is)

I've often wondered this myself, and no one I know seems to know exactly when the spirit actually occupies the body...
So, here's my personal interpretation.
See, God doesn't waste spirits. Sometimes, in nature there are genetic problems that don't allow he fetus to stay alive. So, instead of producing an inviable fetus, the mother's body aborts it. (Not always.) That's accounts for a good percentage of miscarriages, I imagine.
Now, we don't encourage abortion because I think we believe life begins at conception. If that is true, I think it would be reasonable to assume that aborted fetuses with a spirit would fall under the same category as a baby that dies before the age of accountability.
I'm inclined to believe that the spirit occupies the body as soon as the fetus can be viable outside the womb. But, fetuses begin showing personality and temperament before then, so i don't know.
Birth and conception, one of the many beautiful mysteries of life, lol. This is really complicated, and this comes down to faith. Do you really believe that God will sort his out? I do.
EDIT: That's effing crazy! my answer hasn't been up long enough to read, let alone chewed over and thought about, and I already got a thumbs down? Trolls all of you. Haters. I think it was because I actually sat down and thougt up an answer rather than just spewing the first hateful diatribe i could think of. That seems to be the trend around here...Remeber my favorite saying everytime a hater hates, a baby in uganda is ruthlessly slaughtered.
And Man On A Mission in not a troll, he's soon to be a new member, he has questions, and he directs them at us, because we are the only ones who know what we're talking about, obviously...

I think it all depends on when the soul enters the body. My guess, and it is a guess, is that if the soul has entered the body already then they die and go to the celestial kingdom and they have already proven themselves worthy during the premortal existance. But if the soul hasnt entered the body yet then whoever was suppose to go to that body will probably just go to another one.
But there really isnt any doctrine on this subject.

you are so full of yourself. There are questions about every religion on here. There is a mormon question once in a while and suddenly we all just sit around asking and answering mormon questions as some conspiracy. Why wouldnt this apply to other christians or muslims or atheists?
You are so hateful it is disgusting.
Of course a mormon is going to answer a question specifically directed at mormons. You are such an idiot.

nice generalizations

As far as I know there is no doctrine on when the spirit enters the physical body. But even if the spirit enters the body right at conception (when the sperm and egg unite and create the zygote), there shouldn't be any problem theologically. As far as I am concerned, the zygote is a physical, tangible thing, albeit undeveloped. It contains the DNA already that will determine its physical outcome, and so in my mind the zygote sufficiently fulfills the requirement of a physical body. I believe that in the resurrection, all will receive glorified and perfected bodies, regardless of how much the person's original, mortal body had developed.

God's physical laws are more advanced than the ones we have here on earth. Another answerer said God doesn't waste spirits. That is a good point and might be easier to understand if you realize that nothing made of eternal matter is ever lost (the law of conservation). The spirits continue to live as they were before. There have been miscarriages in my family but no abortions; however, I have met people who have had abortions. I stay one step away from calling abortion first-degree murder because again, as I said, God's physical laws are more advanced than what we have here on earth, but it is the closest act one can get to murder as far as motivation, so it would best be classified as a sin against life. Every spirit who is assigned to come to this earth is going to get a body at some point in time. Thanks for asking.

There are a few doctrinal flaws in Saturday's Warrior. For dramatic purposes it was all right, but I don't believe that we necessarily get to make pacts like this family. I don't believe that a spirit will be left behind because they died before birth. I believe that we will be able to raise our lost children in the Celestial Kingdom.

It made sense to me, what that person said. My own personal opinion is it could be that something was wrong with the body, not acceptable for the spirit, and that spirit would come at another time...or that spirit only had to be in the body for a short time, that was their only test...or it was just the wrong time for the spirit to come to earth. Those are just my own guesses.But, I have faith that everything will work out in the end.

I thought they went straight to the Celestial Kingdom, but I suppose that a miscarriage could send the spirit back to the spirit world to await another body.

That's one of those things that's up to personal interpretation. I've miscarried but I don't think twice about it because I never felt like there way anything "alive" in me. I don't think there was ever a spirit involved. But with my other children, it seemed different to me early on. There is no doctrine on this one.

I guess that's why she got a second chance. I think it was bc she was only like 2 mo. along. Before the first trimester, there is no indication of life.
I asked questions like that too and evenually was ostersized form them. Religions don't like to answer logical questions.
