in most jurisdictions, the law creates a single "right" answer on the abortion issue. Regardless of your personal beliefs, which you are always entitled to, you have to be willing to abide by the law or few institutions will want you working there. Additionally, depending on who your interviewer is, there might be a better received "right" answer for these loaded questions. A female OBGYN is more likely to have a predictable position on the abortion issue. An interviewer at a more religious school (Loma Linda) possibly will have a different view. You are allowed to know your audience. You need to show your reasoning, but at the end of the day your conclusion better jibe with what is legal in that state, even if you indicate you would do it under protest. So yeah, there usually is a right answer, ie one that will be better received. But there are permissible ways to frame an answer so that you still come off okay even if your answer is the "wrong" one. fWIW, I did have abortion questions back when I interviewed, usually in the context of minors who were patients and didn't want to tell their parents.
