At the Last Supper, and first Communion, Christ served the sacrament to both Judas Iscariot and Peter. At the moment he served the sacrament Christ knew Judas had betrayed him. He also knew that night Peter would deny him. Christ served the sacrament to sinners puposefully.

To say Judas and Peter were operating the first abortion mill?

Both Judas' and Peter's sins were in the future at that point. Christ's knowledge of such things in his divinity was of course infallible, but even if our knowledge was infallible as well, nobody is suggesting that communion be denied to people we know will sin in the future.

(Most of the time, if we did that, nobody would be able to receive.)

We're talking about people who have committed serious sins in the past and are entirely unrepentant about it today.
