The rally in Columbus was one of six across the state organized by Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights.
Blauvelt says this"Bans Off Our Bodies Day of Action" is just one way they are trying to rally support. Volunteers are also registering voters, working the phones and knocking on doors.
"We will likely continue to do direct voter contact," Blauvelt said."This is just our day of action ahead of early voting, which starts on October 11, and we're just really excited for the last push of voting yes on Issue 1." The Day of Action comes two days after the March for Life ended with a rally in the same place. The march was also an opportunity for organizers to push for people to vote no on Issue 1 in November.
"It's incredibly dangerous and concerning this would be in our constitution and there's nothing we can do about it," Amy Natoce with Protect Women Ohio said."Today is really about speaking out, protecting life, protecting women's health and safety."The deadline to register to vote is Tuesday. Early voting starts on Wednesday. That includes in-person voting and absentee voting by mail.
