FLINT -- A rally will be held in Flint and all over the country today.  They're in opposition to President Obama's HHS Mandate.  The mandate requires mandatory insurance coverage for birth control, which opponents say threatens religious freedom.

The rally is called "Stand Up For Religious Freedom" and  will be held at the St. Matthews Church in downtown Flint.

Thirteen other cities across the state of Michigan and approximately 160 across the country will be participating in the rally, which will begin at noon nationwide.

Here in Flint, there will be several speakers and a peaceful rally.  There will also be a precession to the federal court house.
