Former first lady Barbara Bush is in failing health, a source close to the Bush family tells CNN. At 92 years old, Bush has been suffering for some time and has been in and out of the hospital multiple times in the last year while battling with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, and congestive heart failure. The source said she is being cared for at her home in Houston and has decided she does not want to go back into the hospital.

And all this has what to do with Babs holding a pro-death position? It’s her trip to the other side, real and personal. Everything else you mentioned isn’t within the scope of this article or her eminent face-to-face with the Almighty.

Hope she is comfortable in her final days.

And I’m glad her nauseating sons are no longer in or near power in our country.

“I still like that she was the feisty one.”

My mother met her at a Navy function. Said she was pleasant and completely unpretentious.

For anyone else battling congestive heart failure, I urge you to Google Dr. Bruce West and his newsletter health alert.

Any mother would campaign or do the same for her child. I know if I was in a wheel chair or using a walker..I would be there supporting my son or daughter. Do you have the photo of Jeb opening the door for himself and what? letting it close on her?

COPD is a blanket term for pulmonary dysfunction that’s incurable

Many other causes besides smoking including genetic or in my case scar tissue from two sternotomies

Yup, I know an elderly woman who died from COPD and never smoked a day in her life. She and her husband did own a housecleaning service and she told me she had ignored the warnings on some of the chemicals where it said use a respirator when using.

When a former first lady passes, it is tradition for all living first ladies, past and present, to attend the funeral.

There was a Saturday night live skit about George and Barbara Bush. Way Back when Bush was vice president. I wish I could remember who portrayed George and Barbara, but the joke was that Bush had brought his mother along Actually it was Barbara. It was a funny skit. I’ll have to YouTube it.

Last but not least Jon, there's not a damn thing a president can do to overturn Roe v. Wade. That's up to the Supreme Court.

And it's up to the president to pick the right nominees for SCOTUS. GHWB gave us Souter as I recall.

Yes. When you reach your nineties, your time avoiding “the guy with the knife on the stick” (as Eddie Rickenbacker named death) is short and uncertain.
