Roe vs. Wade detriment to society, culture

Jill June, CEO of Planned Parenthood, in a July 6 guest column expounds of the Supreme Court's upholding of The Affordable Care Act with its many advantages to women: direct access to ob/gyn providers without referrals, preventive health care such as cancer screening, annual exams, birth control screening, birth control without a co-pay. This is impressive and I'm sure that Planned Parenthood can provide many benefits.
I'm curious that in this page-length article, their was no mention of their gigantic abortion services business. It troubles me to hear of the increasing divorce rates, husband/wife abuse, child abuse, dysfunctional families, cohabitation and now same-sex marriage.
I think our sanctioning the infamous Roe vs. Wade act resulting in more than 50 million abortions is a huge detriment to our grand society and culture.
