An advocate for strengthening Hawaiis families says though her state already leans left on the life issue, its loosening up its abortion laws.

Lawmakers are considering statewide regulations on concealed carry and also plan to debate measures protecting doctors who perform abortions.

More than 80 conservative leaders signed a letter, released Tuesday, urging senators to oppose a House-passed same-sex marriage bill.

The fiercest advocates for church-state separation concede they were fighting an uphill battle even before the court's ruling because many districts already tolerated prayers being said in school.

Fears of increased addiction and crime are frequently cited as reasons not to legalize gambling in the Aloha State.

Bills targeting the state auditor's office and measures to shield the state from inmate lawsuits also failed this year.
