What you may well see is that this will hinder Catholics from holding political office

Catholics will not support abortion in order to gain political office .
Politicians who CALL themselves Catholics may but they will be told point blank to quit calling themselves Catholic

Catholics who oppose abortion--people of any ilk who oppose abortion--will have a hard time running on the Democratic ticket. That's a problem, because many Catholics have issues with the Republicans on a broadranger of issues. Abortion has become a far more important issue to the Democratic Party than to the Republican. Here in Texas, which is pretty pro-life, all the major Democratic candidates felt compelled to take a pro-abortion stance even though it cost them lots of votes. It was the price they had to pay to get DNC money.
