No, that’s your interpretation.

What does an oath of office state ? That the holder faithfully upholds the laws ?

So, practically speaking, you have just said that no one who is anti-abortion can hold elective office in the United States because, in your opinion, a person who is anti-abortion cannot take such an oath and carry it out.

Right, but that doesn't mean that a governor must SIGN bills into law that he opposes.
