International Business Times-
The notorious Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. announced Monday that its members will protest two public services held for former First Lady Betty Ford, who died last Friday at the age of 93.
The church has a history of protesting high-profile burials, often calling deaths a punishment from God. The group has been denounced as radical by many Christian organizations.
"Betty Ford is in Hell!" the Church said in a released statement.
Westboro faulted Ford for having divorced her first husband William Warren and then marrying former President Gerald Ford.
"She divorced him & 'married' Gerald Ford & Betty Ford lived in adultery for 58 years," Westboro wrote.
After her days in the White House, Ford was best known for helping found the Betty Ford Center, a substance abuse and alcohol treatment center often used by celebrities.
