Our son, Arrow Josiah Harris, born June 9th, 2006.

An "Electric Abortion Suction Unit" which Daddy photographed just outside the delivery room.

   We post these pictures not as a light-hearted or sick joke, but as a somber reminder of a sick reality. We hope that you are as disturbed as we are by the juxtaposition of these two photos. The sick reality of babies being sucked out of their mother's womb by a vacuum and torn to pieces (or killed in various other ways) will continue on at alarming rates unless God's people are moved out of complacency and apathy and moved to cry out to Him day and night about such horrible evil. "Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:7-8)
   The following quote from a pro-abortion website explains how the machine in the picture works:

Electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) uses an electric pump or suction machine connected via flexible tubing to a plastic or metal cannula to evacuate the uterine contents. How it functions: To perform an EVA procedure, a cannula of appropriate size (depending on uterine size) is inserted into the uterus and then attached to the tubing and connected to the electric aspirator. The contents of the uterus are evacuated through the tubing into a container.

Recall that quote to mind as often as it takes to make you feel nauseous, because that is the right way to feel about all of the baby vacuums that are buzzing away around the world right at this moment. A couple years ago Zach compiled a few pages of quotes from Christian leaders speaking out against abortion, such as:

R.C. Sproul says we are "in the midst of a new and more evil holocaust."

John Piper notes in a sermon to his congregation that abortion clinics are only a few blocks away and compares their situation at that moment to "churches within smelling distance of Auschwitz or Dachau or Buchenwald."

John MacArthur says, "This nation, which certainly prides itself on its humanitarianism, is in a murderous cycle of violence that makes the Nazi Holocaust look mild by comparison."

John Stott says, "We need to have the courage to use accurate language. Induced abortion is feticide, the deliberate destruction of an unborn child, the shedding of innocent blood."
