Dozens attend Religious Freedom Rally in downtown Huntsville | News

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- In less than three weeks, voters will head to the polls for the November 6 election.

On Saturday, a group of people gathered in downtown Huntsville for a "Religious Freedom Rally" in hopes of changing the minds of some voters before they cast their ballots.  

At least 150 people gathered at Big Spring Park in support of pro-life views.

They also spoke out against the Health and Human Service mandate that requires all employers to provide contraceptives.

Rally supporters believe both are a critical issue with the recent health care ruling. Some who opposed the rally, held a protest across the street.

"A lot of things that we are doing that we are declaring as constitutional, are not constitutional, abortion being one of them and mandating that people buy health coverage that goes against what we believe in," Janiss Graves, rally supporter.

"The constitution also guarantees us freedom from religion and from having other people's religious ideas forced on us," said Rosalind McDermott, rally protestor.

After the rally, the group marched to the Alabama Women's Center in protest of abortions.
