Florida is not very socially liberal. If you say it is then why did we pass the Parental Notification Amendment with almost 70% of the vote? The only thing liberal we've done recently is raise the minimum wage to 6.15 with forced increases every year. A terrible idea that was but I will laugh when it starts punishing the people that voted for it.
Florida is very socially liberal; the voters just don't know that.
The Parential Notification Amendment is hardly an extreme position. All but 6 states already have either parental notification or the more strict parential consent laws. Congress is about to potentiall make those remaining states cover parental notification under federal law, with a judicial bypass ability of course. This bill, which allows for a judicial bypass, passed with 65%, which is not all that out of line of national opinion.
