I think you are right, but that you have put it backwards. Abiogenesis has sweet fuck all to do with politics and religion.
Some people's religious dogma and political use of said dogma is so impoverished, narrow minded and destined to contradict observed and observable reality that they have manufactured a political controversy surrounding some aspects of science. It ain't science's fault. Just like it isn't a beaten wife's fault that her husband is a cruel bastard who gets his kicks beating women. That some people have wrongly conflated their religion and politics to a field of science does not mean that "she was asking for it".

Well, that is all true. Nevertheless, even without the fundies, research into areas like abiogenesis and cosmology is, inextricably, wrapped up with lots of religious (and therefore political) complications. It is simply unavoidable.
