It's mostly true for me, but I would ask questions of a friend who asked my help in obtaining an abortion, unless she specifically said, "look, I just need someone who'll come with me and not talking about it". It's a major medical procedure that haunts lots of people for years after it's done, no matter how pro-choice they are, and I'd want to make sure as a friend that they weren't being pressured into it, just as much as I would if it were, say, a hysterectomy. Not to judge, but because good friends ask. And if she would tell me to shut the hell up and be supportive, I would be.
In fact, as I recall, that's exactly what happened.

Otherwise, I completely agree.
