Sofia Vergara is facing a lawsuit brought on behalf of two frozen embryos she created with an ex-partner.
The two embryos, listed as plaintiffs "Emma" and "Isabella", are the subject of a year-long legal battle between the Modern Family star and ex-fiancee Nick Loeb.
In papers filed with a Louisiana court this week, Mr Loeb ended a former lawsuit against the actress and replaced it with a new one.
According to the second claim, not allowing the embryos to be born is depriving them of their inheritance.
Louisiana is a pro-life state where embryos are given rights as people.
"Emma" and "Isabella" are currently frozen at a California fertility clinic, where Vergara wants to keep them indefinitely.
Mr Loeb said: "A woman is entitled to bring a pregnancy to term even if the man objects.
"Shouldn't a man who is willing to take on all parental responsibilities be similarly entitled to bring his embryos to term even if the woman objects?"
