The longer Pelousy keeps this fight going, the longer it clarifies the calling of every true Catholic to reject pro-death politicians.

That's a serious step to take. I think they will be given an opportunity to repent, however, if it comes to open defiance of the church on this matter, then excommunication is the proper response. I don't think it would mean anything to these folks since their own since of power and self righteousness is so great, but it would a lot to the church. Given that these are very public and influential people, if this issue keeps boiling, I would not be surprised to the the Pope step in.

They excommunicate themselves and cannot be communicated due to the sin of supporting killing unborn children.
