If Roe gets overturned, PRAISE THE LORD, then what happens is it returns the issue to the states, where it always was supposed to be. But perhaps someone can help me out. Does each state just have a vote on whether they want it to be illegal or does the governor decide or how does that work?

Laws are not made by the governor. Whatever laws the state has on the books at the time would be what controls. Assuming any laws restricting abortions have been deleted from the various statutes of each state then new laws would need to be passed before a state could ban them.

The issue would revert to the state legislatures.
