Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has been locked in a bitter custody dispute with Nick Loeb over frozen embryos she and her former fiancé had made when they were together for years, but she recently picked up a major legal victory in the public battle. Since the two split up, Loeb has aggressively tried to acquire custody of the frozen embryos. In his latest legal bid to obtain legal custody, Loeb filed an unusual right-to-live lawsuit against Vergara in Louisiana, the only state where frozen embryos have legal rights. He named the two embryos “Emma” and “Isabella” in court documents, and even went so far as to set up trust funds for them.
Loeb brought the lawsuit back in December and last week a judge threw out the case on the basis that it was filed outside the proper jurisdiction, given that the embryos were created in California. In court documents obtained by TMZ, the judge even kept up the theme Loeb started in the lawsuit, ruling that “Emma” and “Isabella” are “citizens of California.”
Nice one, your honor.

Can they vote in California? /s
I’m sure they already have.
Sometimes modern science is just creepy.
Hey, it’s just a modern family: ex-fiancé, ex-fiancée, and two frozen kids. Now all that’s needed is for either Nick or Sofia to trans-.
Now they’re playing with fire. If embryos can be “citizens” they are de-facto “persons” and this is the express lane to the dismantling of Roe. See, that’s the nature of reality; it keeps encroaching into life no matter how hard you try to keep it out.
They have already voted several times in each election cycle in CA....just get the case in front of a liberal judge and he/she will kill them for sure...
This is going to end up in a ruling that Citizens of the State of California may be summarily executed if their mother says so.
That is exactly what i thought the instant i saw this headline.
Feminism-
If your mother wants you, you exist.
If your mother doesn’t want you, you do not exist.
But a fully developed fetus can be aborted because it is not a real person?
The logic escapes me.
Well, this ruling should put to rest whether a fetus is just a tissue cell or a REAL HUMAN
Sorry. My bad. I read ‘embryos’ and thought ‘eggs’. But still, the logic escapes me.
Whoops. Can’t have an abortion now.
Exploding heads...

If embryos are considered citizens. Then this gives abortion a chance of being overturned. I’m all for it. Just wondering if the leftists realize what’s going on.
So abortion must be the murder of a citizen at least in CA.
Yet... if fertilized they could be legal aborted too? Something is fishy with their logic.
So its legal for her to abort them but NOT the biological father, right?
How convenient. The judges will be judged as well.
Why not both?
