I guess, Steve, that you see moral decisions as either right or wrong. You "believe" in abortion, so you see the choice of abortion as always right. Moral decisions are often far more complicated, and introspective people tend not to be so sure they're right. Because of my friend's decision, two young people are not living today. In at least some sense of the term, she took the lives of those two children. I think she made the proper decision, but I still think there's reason to grieve the loss of those two lives. If a woman has a miscarriage, there is cause for grief, even though it is a natural thing that happens time and time again. If a woman has an abortion, there is also reason to grieve - even if the decision to abort was the proper decision.
