Fascist': Liberal critics melt down after Florida voters reject abortion rights amendment
Florida voters rejected the proposed Amendment 2, which would have added abortion rights to the state constitution.
The amendment was defeated by a margin of 55% to 45%, with the majority of voters in the state's largest counties, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, voting against it.
Liberal critics of the amendment's defeat have been quick to denounce the outcome, with some calling it a "fascist" victory
Critics have pointed to the fact that abortion rights are popular with a majority of Americans, and they argue that the amendment's defeat is a sign of the growing power of the religious right in the United States.
However, supporters of the amendment's defeat argue that it is a victory for democracy, as it reflects the will of the majority of Florida voters.
They also argue that the amendment was poorly written and would have had unintended consequences, such as allowing late-term abortions.
The debate over abortion rights is likely to continue in Florida and across the United States.
