The man could be seen on the top of the more than 300-foot-tall entertainment structure, which opened at the end of September 2023.

According to sources, the 24-year-old Maison DesChamps, who is a well-known pro-life campaigner and goes by the moniker Pro-Life Spider-Man,&nbsp;live-streamed his ascent. Soon after the incident, his account was removed.

He was also charged with conspiracy to destroy real or personal property&nbsp;after his arrest on Wednesday.

“We are grateful to the local authorities for their support in this matter,” a spokesperson for Sphere Entertainment Co. said in a statement.

Earlier, Des Champs posted a photo reading ‘abortion is murder’ on his Instagram and tagged the NFL’s official account.

It may be mentioned here that Las Vegas is set to host Super Bowl LVIII in just a few days.

Des Champs has previously made such climbs. He&nbsp;scaled&nbsp;Oklahoma City’s Devon Tower in June 2022 and Chicago’s Accenture Tower in October. In both cases, Des Champs was taken into custody.

Anti-abortion activist arrested after climbing to the top of Las Vegas Sphere

Anti-abortion activists gathered in Washington on Friday for the 44th March for Life, buoyed by President Donald Trump&#39;s pledge to restrict the procedure and Vice President Mike Pence&#39;s plan to address the marchers.

Organisers expect tens of thousands of supporters to converge on the National Mall for the march, which is held each year close to the anniversary of the US&nbsp;Supreme Court&#39;s Roe v&nbsp;Wade ruling that legalised abortion in 1973.

Vice President Mike Pence, a Republican and longtime hero of the anti-abortion movement, is due to be the most senior government official ever to speak in person at the rally, organisers said. As governor of Indiana, Pence signed what were seen as some of the nation&#39;s strictest abortion laws.

Senior Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan and several Republican lawmakers also are scheduled to speak.

Rally participants will march from the Mall about 1.5 miles (2 km) to the Supreme Court.

The March for Life comes six days after Washington was flooded by hundreds of thousands of anti-Trump protesters, many of them backers of abortion rights. That protest came a day after Trump was sworn in as president.&nbsp;

Trump has said Roe v&nbsp;Wade should be overturned and has vowed to appoint an anti-abortion justice to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year.

He also has pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, which draws the ire of many Republicans because it provides abortions, along with other services.&nbsp;

In a speech to Republican lawmakers at a retreat in Philadelphia on Thursday, Trump noted that on Monday he reinstated a national policy banning US&nbsp;aid to non-governmental organisations abroad that provide or &quot;promote&quot; abortion.

Trump, who has frequently accused the media of underestimating the crowd at his inauguration, predicted the size of the march crowd would be &quot;300, 400, 500, 600,000 people.&quot;

The rally comes as the number of US&nbsp;abortions has fallen to a record low. The Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health and rights organisation, said last week that it dropped below 1 million in 2013 for the first time since 1975.

The drop could be because of improved contraceptive practices as well as restrictive abortion laws, the institute said.

A Pew poll last year showed 57 per cent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
