Well, net.politics.abortion is a possibility, but I disagree heavily with
net.sci.origins. 

Both groups tend heavily towards "religious" discussions (quick definition
-- any discussion where both sides are talking and neither side is
listening). In both groups, there seems to be little attempt to share facts
but a lot of work to convince the heathens (definition -- anyone who
disagrees with you) regardless of the "facts". 

net.sci.origins is a very bad name. net.religion.origins would be better,
since its main purpose seems to be to allow the creationists a place to
attempt to convince otherwise sane people that scientific fact that happens
to disagree with the Bible is wrong...
