I don’t know much about the politics of the Catholic Church. Does this mean that the more local bodies can develop a policy of withholding the Eucharist from pro-abortion politicians, if a local bishop decided to take their own teachings seriously?

The bishop decides. Not the USCCB, not the pope, not the synod. The bishop is the ruler in his own diocese.

The Catholic Church has always stood against abortion, euthanasia, birth control and same sex marriage among other things.
The Catholic Church still has NOT changed. This is just bishops with a small “b” who aren’t acting with a fully formed conscience.
Have they forgotten the Commenadment “Thou shalt not kill.”?
Many have not forgotten, but some have.
It is a shame in my opinion.

According to canon law, the minister of communion -- not the bishop -- is responsible for denying communion to persons engaged in manifest public grave sin.
