As a matter of fact and public record:

Kathleen Sebelius

In May 2008, Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann said that Kathleen Sebelius should stop receiving communion because of her support for abortion rights, and that she should not again take it unless she publicly stated that she opposed abortion rights.[22][23][24]

[edit] Joe Biden

After Joe Biden, a pro-choice Catholic, was nominated as a vice presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential election, Bishop Joseph Francis Martino of Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, said Biden would be refused communion in that diocese because of his support for abortion rights.[7] Biden was not refused communion in his then-parish of Wilmington, Delaware.[25]

[edit] Patrick Kennedy

In November 2009, Bishop Thomas Tobin barred Representative Patrick Kennedy from communion because of his position on abortion.[26] Kennedy told the Providence Journal that Tobin instructed priests in the diocese not to give him communion; Tobin denied this.[26]

The bishops and priests are taking their own souls in their hands if they do not follow Gods law. Their judgement will be severe.
