Imagine a politician making the following statement:
"Personally, I believe slavery is wrong. However, I disagree with the suggestion that criminalizing slave owners and slave traders is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of slaves in our nation."
This would be a ludicrous statement. But Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius made a similar comment.
She said, "Personally I believe abortion is wrong, however, I disagree with the suggestion that criminalizing women and their doctors is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of abortions in our nation."
This modified pro-choice position is foolish, especially for the governor. She says her Catholic faith "Teaches me that all life is sacred." If abortion kills sacred human life, then shouldn't she want to make killing sacred human life illegal? After all, society usually outlaws methods of killing innocent human beings – abortion should be no exception.

See William Wilburforce...
when pressed, a lot of pro-life people say exactly the same thing...that if abortion were illegal, they don't believe that a woman who has one should be punished in the same way as a "murderer". what, then, should be the punishment?
Star Parker, a black conservative Christian commentator who had several abortions before meeting the Lord, and who has written several controversial books including "Uncle Sam's Plantation" about how liberals in government are keeping blacks impoverished, calls people like Sebelius "POBs" ... "Personally Opposed, Buts" ... and then she goes on to throw them under the bus repeatedly.
You're right, it's a horribly inadequate position on the issue.
