La Mesa
About 30 anti-abortion activists picketed Friday morning at the Family Planning Associates Medical Group, part of a 40-business complex, on Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa.
Operation Rescue protesters peacefully handed out brochures until 1 p.m., a La Mesa police spokesman said.
No arrests were made, but La Mesa police received several complaints from people who went to the medical facility and from neighboring businesses.
“They were objecting to the fact that they are being called murderers as they walked by,” Lt. Bobby Barrett said. “Also, offensive photographs were shoved in their face.”
Police said a 70-year-old woman was called a murderer and complained about “obnoxious and violent pictures” pushed up to her face as she walked in.
The group said it will stage another protest Saturday but would not disclose its time or location.
