'Pro-Life Spider-Man' says climb wasn't about the Roe draft opinion (The Washington Post)

"Pro-Life Spider-Man," a 22-year-old antiabortion activist, scaled the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco without a harness.

Des Champs, a Michigan native, told The Post that he’s a student at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and began rock climbing when he was a teenager. Wade, according to a leaked draft of the opinion published by Politico and confirmed by Chief Justice Roberts. The night before Des Champs scaled the building, Politico published a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that signaled the court is ready to overturn the Roe v. How might the fall of Roe v. In August, Des Champs scaled the Aria, a 600-foot-tall resort on the Las Vegas Strip, to protest coronavirus mask mandates. Wade — I think is a good thing,” he said, calling the 1973 decision “horrible” and arguing that the Constitution does not grant abortion rights. Des Champs said he knew he’d probably face criminal charges and plans to hire a lawyer, although he declined to say whether he’ll scale another building somewhere else. That’s when he decided to call himself “Pro-Life Spider-Man,” a way to get more media attention. Police were waiting for Des Champs when he reached the top of the tower Tuesday morning, hours after Politico broke news that the Supreme Court appears poised to dismantle the abortion protections granted by Roe v. But Des Champs told The Post that his climb less than 24 hours after the bombshell revelation was a coincidence. The news on Monday night drew hundreds of supporters and opponents of abortion rights to demonstrate in front of the Supreme Court, and the protests continued on Tuesday. Des Champs’s stunt seemed to follow. “Too many conservatives are sort of seen as squares,” Des Champs told The Washington Post on Tuesday evening.
