Louisiana lawmakers have taken another step in efforts to chip away at abortion rights, nearing final passage of a bill that would ask voters to rewrite the state constitution to ensure it offers no protections for the procedure. The bill advancing Tuesday is similar to others enacted in some other conservative states. It is one of several anti-abortion measures being proposed in Louisiana’s legislative session.
The Senate voted 31-4 Tuesday for the proposal, which asks voters to add language into the state constitution declaring that it doesn’t protect abortion rights.
A proposal to legalize sports betting in Louisiana edged forward in the Legislature, winning the backing of a committee packed with several anti-gambling lawmakers.
The Senate-supported legalization bill won passage Tuesday from the House criminal justice committee, with an 11-6 vote.

Danny Martiny’s bill would allow wagering on professional and college sports at Louisiana’s casinos and racetracks.
