New abortion laws and minimum wage amounts are taking effect in dozens of states across the country after the U.S. entered 2023 on Sunday. New drug policies are also coming.
California's Proposition 1 passed on Election Day, and enshrines residents' "fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives."
