Dr. Peggy Drexler: Why Komen Is Small Potatoes

Author, 'Our Fathers Ourselves. Daughters, Fathers, And The Changing American Family'

As riveting as the Komen-Planned Parenthood controversy is, it is playing out against the backdrop of something much larger. The legal attack on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) puts at risk provisions that will right grievous -- even deadly -- wrongs in how women are treated in our health care system. Unlike Komen, the stakes here are universal. The Planned Parenthood flap will come and go in a couple of news cycles -- instructive, but ultimately harmless. But if the gains for women in the ACA go down with the ship, it may take decades to get them back, if we can get them back at all.
