Sofia Vergara's ex says keeping embryos frozen is same as killing them

Sofia Vergara's former fiance Nick Loeb has said that he believes that her desire to keep the embryos they created together frozen is same as having an abortion.

In an op-ed for the New York, Loeb, who sued Vergara for the right to bring those embryos to term, revealed that the embryos were the cause of his breakup with Sofia, TMZ.com reported.

He says she cooled on the idea of having kids but he was committed and believed they had already created life.

He noted that in his views, keeping them frozen forever is tantamount to killing them, adding "Does one person's desire to avoid biological parenthood (free of any legal obligations) outweigh another's religious beliefs in the sanctity of life and desire to be a parent."

As for his legal argument, Loeb claims the contract they signed, which stipulated they both needed to sign off in order for the embryos to be brought to term, should be voided because (as California law requires) there was no mention of what would happen if they separated.
