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.

Recently we have elected a Pro-abortion governor, and I was worried that if by some miracle we overturned Roe, Oklahoma would miss the boat on outlawing it. I dont know what the law of the land was before Roe, but I am assuming it was illegal here.
