If the law is written such that it is illegal to provide abortion services but does not specify whether having one is illegal or not then I don't really see an inconsistency.
It would be similar to making selling recreational drug illegal, but not explicitly making the use illegal. Again, the purpose of such law is to discourage behavior that is detrimental to society, not to turn otherwise productive members of society into criminals. Again, I don't think all recreational drugs should be illegal, and I don't think abortion should be illegal, but if it has to be illegal, I think this is a good compromise.

Yeah, I still think it was funny either way >.>
