It is not impossible to be friends, given sufficient maturity on both parts.
However, sometimes the person's view on abortion *is* indicative of an actual underlying worldview that may make the person... unappealing as a friend.
Personally, I have a harder time with people who are "radically pro-choice" than I do with pro-lifers. I mean those who insist that there is *no* moral dilemma because to them the life and the feelings of the fetus -- at any stage -- have no value at all. This is a callous disregard for life and feelings. It squicks me no end.
Even clinic bombers are less squicky to me than that.
