What happens is that people may not receive Holy Communion.
For example, if one is divorced and re-marries, then one may not receive Holy Communion. If the previous marriage is annuled by the church, then the 2nd marriage is okay, and the person can receive Holy Communion.
The point of being a politician who supports laws that allow abortion is that the politician claim they are doing nothing wrong.
But the letter from Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) to then Cardinal McCarrick of Washington, DC, in 2004 made it clear that it was wrong to vote for politicians who supported abortion.
There was something that the media made a mess of in that letter, which was a clause that if there was something of equal evil as abortion was found in the other candidate, then the lesser of two evils could be voted for.
However, since abortions takes 1 million to 1.3 million lives a year in the United States, about the only equal thing would be a Nuclear War that would kill millions of people. Even what has been going on in Iraq is incidental compared to the about 5 million abortion lives lost since 2003.
There maybe a total of 200,000 lives lost in Iraq during that time (including the 3,000+ Americans).
But 200,000 is not close to 5 million, and considering that an evil leader (Sadaam Hussein) was deposed, this war would be a just war in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
Even more, the War in Iraq has prevented terrorism from coming to the United States and other parts of the world as the terrorists (Al Qaeda) are being killed in Iraq.
Thus, there are justifications for the deaths in Iraq from the effort to liberate it from the tyranny of Saddaam. Sadaam Hussein used poison gas on his own people, was responsible for countless executions of Kurds and Shiites, as well as Sunnis.
The supression of Al Qaeda in Iraq may have prevented terror bombing like September 11, 2001 in other parts of the world.
So a pro-abortion politician is responsible for genocide of millions of babies -- which is why it is such a dastardly sin.
Even Adolf Hitler did not target unborn babies. He chose instead to sterilize undesirables rather than kill babies.
So maybe the pro-abortion Republicans (such as Rudy Guiliani) and Democrats (such as Ted Kennedy) are one up on Adolf Hitler.
