Roe v Wade v Frozen Embryos

So, I watched the Special Report with Brett Baier the other day when they discussed frozen embryos.  The problem I have with these reports is that they are leaving out a HUGE missing piece from the national discussion.  Judicial injustice (I think that's what I'll call it from now on).  In most every case, the courts bend over backward and do hand springs NOT to give the embryos to a partner, no matter what.  They hide behind the 14th Amendment and claim right to privacy (right not to procreate).  This same argument was used in Roe v Wade; however, now with a twist.  Now,  the right to privacy essentially is the right to break a binding agreement, to override a mother's right to bring her child to term and basically, the court deciding to terminate the child over the mother's protest.  Huh?  How is that "right to privacy"?  In Roe v. Wade they wanted the government to keep their hands off of decisions made by women who were carrying a baby?  That seems like hands on to me.  In fact, it seems like meddling to the 14th degree.  In Roe v. Wade, they actually said the right for a woman to have an abortion must be balanced against the state's interest to protect women's health and to protect human life.  Hmmm.  I guess I get it.  The embryo is in the woman's body and there would be no way to retrieve it, so the government shouldn't decide what to do with it (this is regardless of whether you believe in abortion or not).  The court made a decision to protect that personal right.  For argument's sake, I will concede this issue.  But what about frozen embryos?  So, where two people deliberately contemplate and execute actions to conceive, where they more than likely have a written agreement as to disposition, where they pay thousands of dollars to create life, the mother goes through countless needle pricking, countless appointments and create life in the most deliberate way, all of a sudden the court can decide to terminate your unborn at a whim?  Sorry people, even if you believe in abortion, this should make no sense.
