It must have just been announced because at the moment since I can't find a single news article as of right now...I'm sure there will be one in about 5 minutes.

This is what the front page of www.yahoo.com says

Breaking News: Former first lady Betty Ford has died at age 93

[Goliath]

She has been open about the benefits of psychiatric treatment, and spoken understandingly about marijuana use and premarital sex, and as a new First Lady pointedly stated that she and the President shared the same bed during a televised White House tour. [...]

During her time as First Lady, Ford was also an outspoken advocate of women's rights and was a prominent force in the Women's Movement of the 1970s. She supported the proposed Equal Rights Amendment and lobbied state legislatures to ratify the amendment, and took on opponents of the amendment. She was also an activist for the legalization of abortion and her active political role prompted TIME magazine to call her the country's "Fighting First Lady" and name her a Woman of the Year, representing American women along with other feminist icons.

Well, that makes me like her a lot more than her scumbag husband.
