Communion is expression (and not the means) of unity of belief. Logically, those who support abortion cannot claim (comm)union of belief with the teaching of the Catholic Church and therefore cannot receive the Catholic Eucharist. The issue couldn’t be clearer.

“The issue couldn’t be clearer.”

Exept if the bishops acted like abortion is what they say it is, so badly taught Catholics would know it is truly a serious matter.

Should the denial of the Eucharist be applied to those that support greed? What about all the other sins? Can and should I be denied the Eucharist if I still haven't forgiven my neighbor for killing that tree in my yard? Where is the line drawn and who determines when the Eucharist can be received and when it cannot?
