Bay Area LGBTQ+ community worry if Roe v. Wade is overturned, the SCOTUS will be coming for them next, including marriage between same-sex couples.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A 22-year-old who calls himself the "Pro-Life Spiderman" was arrested Tuesday after free climbing to the top of Salesforce Tower, the tallest skyscraper in California, with hopes to raise money for anti-abortion charities.

The college student scaled the 1,070-foot building while periodically stopping to use his phone to post videos to social media. He told ABC7 he's been planning the climb for a month using Google Maps to assess building.

DesChamps arrived at SFO early Tuesday morning from Las Vegas where he's currently enrolled as a senior at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. As soon as he got in, he says he took an Uber straight to Salesforce and began climbing around 9 a.m.
