The prohibition was on the very public taking of the Sacrament.
If a politician privately abhorred abortion, I doubt there would be
a problem requesting a private Sacrament minus television cameras
and reporters.  The problem is the public and ostentatious Mass 
attendance despite public rejection of Catholic teaching on serious matters.

Just as a matter of trademark dilution, such politicians would get
sued out the wazoo if they abused a corporate trademark that way.
They show less respect for the Catholic Church than a corporation.
