Sofia Vergara Faces Off Against Pro-Life Supporters At Magic Mike XXL Premiere

All Sofia Vergara wanted to do was support fiance Joe Manganiello at the Magic Mike XXL premiere in Los Angeles last night, but what should have been a fun night out ended up turning rather ugly when a handful of pro-life supporters crashed the red carpet.
Protesters held up signs and went after the Modern Family superstar, but she smiled and seemingly ignored them as she made her way inside the theater. One sign read, "Lives created should be lives protected," while another one said, "Sofia: Unfreeze your daughters. Unfreeze your heart."
As you may know, Vergara and her former fiance Nick Loeb have been in a highly publicized court battle over the frozen embryos they created when they were still together. Loeb is suing Vergara because he wants the legal right to bring the embryos to life via surrogate, and he claims she wants the embryos to be destroyed.
In May, Vergara chatted with Howard Stern about the drama, and she made a number of very valid points. "More than a mother, [a child] needs a loving relationship of parents that you know, get along, that don't hate each other," she said. "I don't hate him [Loeb] but obviously he has a problem with me ... I wouldn't imagine anyone saying to bring to the world kids that already have everything set up wrong for them. It'd be so selfish."
Loeb has also made quite a few appearances as well, and when he chatted with Hoda Kotb on Today earlier this spring, he said it had nothing to do with the attention, but rather "legal, ethical concepts" and the "two lives that have already been created." Sigh. When will this be over?!
