In the US, abortion has created a culture where promiscuous and indiscriminate premarital sex is normative behavior, and where sex has been entirely disconnected from its original function: procreation.
One does not need to be religious to realize that disconnected from any consequences or responsibility, disconnected from the very act of procreation itself, sex has become a negative force, and has had many detrimental effects on our society in the three decades since Roe, not the least of which has been an incremental but progressive devaluation of regard for the sanctity of human life, not to mention the breakdown of moral values and the deconstruction of gender roles, which is leading to the destruction of the traditional family.

A recent study conducted by the General Social Survey (GSS) of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago shows that the percentage of kids who live with both biological parents, who remain married, has dropped precipitously from 73% in 1972 to 51.7% in 1998.
Twenty-eight years ago 45% of households consisted of married couples with children. In 1998, that percentage had fallen to 26%.
The report concludes that today "families are smaller and less stable, marriage is less central and cohabitation more common, the value of children and values for children have altered, and within marriages gender roles have become less traditional and more egalitarian."

Globally, abortion has created even greater problems: the practice of sex-selective abortion throughout Asia has created a severe sex-ratio imbalance in favor of males. It is estimated that by the year 2020 there could be more than 35 million young 'surplus males' in China and 25 million in India, which will no doubt give rise to a generation of restless young men who will not find mates. History, biology, and sociology all suggest that these "surplus males" will generate high levels of crime and social disorder.

Would you care to elaborate?
I'm not sure how to counter... a link to a video game.

It would be like if I countered your opening argument (in the hypothetical event that you ever bothered to make one) by posting a link to some midget porn or something; the relevance simply isn't clear. At least to me. At least at the moment.

Until then, for all the casual reader knows your argument has about as much base in reality as the referenced video game.

If you would have me agree that there are certain unfavorable consequences of abortion, then please, lets see the research you started out with before reaching your conclusion.

Is this debate gonna take off or what? Dangit...I'm gettin' impatient.
