[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not an attack on the faith. I had many friends growing up who were Mormon. I just recall that all of my friends' moms were SAHMs, which made sense because they had large families. Since then, I realized I've never met a female Mormom doctor, lawyer, business exec. My circle may be small. [b]Is there something in church doctrine that forbids women from having careers? [/b]Just curious.[/quote]

It encourages women to have many children.  It is against premarital sex which means getting married and having children at a young age.  Would be very challenging to already have two kids while in law or medical schools.  There are exceptions, but having kids young really limits a woman professionally.  [/quote]

This. (And tbh, in addition to going out into the world and converting the masses to LDS--which their two-year missionary programs are designed to do--encouraging families to have LOTS and LOTS of babies is probably the MOST effective strategy for spreading any religion like wildfire!) It's in the doctorine that babies are spirits in heaven that are waiting to join your family...and your hghest calling as a mormon woman is to give those angel babies LIFE on earth. And that just doesn't leave a ton of time for a career. Plus, the way their communities are structured, there is plenty of social reinforcement for staying at home, just as other PPs have stated.[/quote]
