So, a committed Catholic 'acting in the name of God' would not permit himself to perform an abortion.

Circular reasoning. Obviously someone who fully believes in Catholic doctrine will act in accordance with it. But such a person is free to alter his beliefs at any time. For example, I've heard rumors that a few Catholics use birth control.

Right. And thus they're not following Catholic doctrine. Please more closely examine the above. You're proving my point.

By the way, if you're an atheist, where do you get this idea that humans have free will?
