And today, Maison Des Champs, a 22-year-old college student at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, climbed to the top of the Los Angeles Ritz-Carlton hotel skyscraper to help raise funds to support a pregnant woman considering an abortion who just needs a little support to raise a baby along with rent and childcare.
“When Olivia found out she was pregnant she was immediately scared. With mounting bills and her boyfriend wanting nothing to do with the baby, Olivia felt she needed to schedule an abortion. She is a single mother to 3 kids and is 7 weeks along with her 4th. She lost her job and couldn’t keep up with rent payments so she and her children are on the verge of eviction. If that wasn’t enough, her car broke down and even though she is starting a new job in December, she will have no reliable transportation,” he said in an Instagram post.
Let Them Live will ensure she not only receives financial help, but emotional and financial counseling and coaching as well so she can choose life and successfully get back on her feet.
The money I am raising is to cover these expenses for Olivia as well as other moms that Let Them Live is working with.
Whatever the amount, your donation will ensure Olivia and other women like her are supported and lives are saved from abortion.
In 73% of circumstances, women are choosing abortion because of financial burdens but Let Them Live raises money to relieve those burdens so women can choose life; women like Olivia who are struggling to make ends meet and feel that abortion is their only option.
During his climb, Des Champs hung a banner from a window that read “Support women, not abortion.”
Unfortunately, Des Champs was arrested after he got to the top of the building as he has been on previous climbs. Typically the trespassing charges are either minor or dropped….
The above comes from a Nov. 29 story in LifeNews.
Women like Olivia should learn to make better life choices.
And if this pro-life spiderman dies while attempting one of these foolish stunts, I won’t cry.
Thrill and attention seekers eventually get what’s coming to them.
You’re right that Olivia should have made better choices. But, shouldn’t we love and help those who make bad, even sinful, choices?
That’s what God did for you and me.
And, shouldn’t we be saddened by the untimely death of any human person?
Firm purpose of amendment is a condition of valid absolution.
What do you mean by that, amendment?
It means your sins are not forgiven and it’s not a valid confession unless you firmly intend to avoid sinning in the future. Why help people who show no willingness to change their behavior? They’ll just use you.
If you’re referring to Olivia, what makes you think she does not have a firm purpose of amendment?
If you’re referring to the spiderman, do you think all civil disobedience is unjustified?
This man is willing to pay the fine.
Do you think unjust laws must be obeyed?
If so, see the Apostles and Thomas Aquinas.
And, why do some here seem to be more upset by a prolife sign on a building or a sidewalk than by the massacre of millions of babies?
This is not civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is breaking an unjust law.
It is not ok to break the law because you are willing to take the consequences.
I just had a screening for a potentially fatal disease and I’m thinking “Oh no. If it comes up negative, this relative will be a jerk and If it comes up positive these other relatives will be pests.”
I got no clear answer. I got a probably OK but we will check again in a while.
and I am relieved.
Because of how people treat me.
You do not have to be jerks to other people and you do not need to impose yourself or your opinions on other people.
It is called caring about your emotional wake. Like the wake behind a boat. How your behavior is affecting other people.
But a lot of Catholics have been trained to be dishonest about how other peoples behavior affects them.
God bless and protect him. Reminds me of David Deleiden. May he always make it to the top. Some people who judge him harshly have no problem watching stunt men in the movies.
