She gets from 500 to 1,000 fan letters a month, has to get help from Marguerite to answer them...

Obtaining semen by unnatural means was wrong, said the Pontiff, even for married couples. But medical aid to get the semen from the vagina into the uterus, after normal intercourse, was permissible...
