Original article: Meet Judy, the talking embryo

Is Judy the sister of Sammy the Frozen Embryo?

An Air America host had a hilarious recurring character called Sammy the Frozen Embryo, back when there was a raging controversy about whether frozen embryos could be destroyed by couples in infertility treatment. This was around the time we had the Snowflake Babies inflicted on us.

Sammy was an obnoxious creep who insulted the host and then chortled about how no one could touch him because he was "sacred life."

His theme song included the line, "I'm sacred life / I did your wife."
