'Fascist': Liberal critics melt down after Florida voters reject abortion rights amendment
Fox News
Liberal critics slam Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis after voters in the state rejected an amendment that would have created a constitutional right to abortion, calling it "fascist."
DeSantis signed the Heartbeat Protection Act into law last year, which banned most abortions after six weeks of gestation. This year, Florida residents voted on Amendment 4, the Right to Abortion Initiative, which worked to overturn the ban.
In Florida, constitutional amendments must get 60% of the vote, not a simple majority, to pass. Amendment 4 received majority support among voters but failed to meet the 60% threshold, which sparked an onslaught of criticism from Democrats, left-wing media outlets and pro-choice advocates.
