Fair point actually. There's also lot of yelling going on going as far that some think it's actually a proven fact that it causes cancer just because some judge somewhere made Monsanto pay. But there's another aspect as well: if I'm not mistaken (been a while I looked into this thoroughly) the links with the insect decline seem to be much stronger than the link with cancer? And that's also not exactly a good thing.

I thought the insect decline was from theirs of neonicotinoids for pest control not herbicides like glyphosate.
Apart from the indirect effect (killing flowering plants means less food for insects) there seem to be direct effects as well e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25063858/
