She and Laura Bush have an interest in womens' health in common also. From
the Whitehouse web site http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/flbio.html:

""Mrs. Bush has also been a champion of breast cancer awareness, working with
the Governors Spouse Program of the National Governors Association to promote
women's health.""

I'll try contacting the Whitehouse to ask about her stand on BF.
