No problems at anti-abortion protests in Jackson

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Authorities in Jackson say one citation for careless driving and two citations for destruction of property have been issued during the latest round of abortion demonstrations.

Members of Operation Save America demonstrated in the town square Wednesday. Members of a local group, Jackson Hole United, were also out warning people about graphic images being displayed by the anti-abortion group.

Teton County spokeswoman Charlotte Reynolds says there have been some complaints about noise, traffic and the groups' signs.

Operation Save America plans to stage demonstrations through Sunday, but they won't be in the town square on Saturday during the Boy Scouts' annual Elkfest and antler auction.

Last week, members of a Milwaukee-based anti-abortion group also demonstrated in Jackson.

The protests follow a recent Wyoming Supreme Court ruling in favor of protesters.
