I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here. First, a frozen embryo has not been fertilized by male sperm, so it’s not the same thing as a pregnancy. Second, you could just as easily ask the question:

“Burning building - you can carry out an unconscious 10 year old girl, or an unconscious 1-year-old baby boy, but not both.”

So let’s just say I were to rescue the 1-year-old infant boy in this situation because he happened to be the most accessible. Since I can’t rescue both children, does this mean I value the lives of 10-year-olds or girls any less???

Umm, no. An embryo by definition has been fertilized. Frozen embryos are people under the Mississippi initiative.

"First, a frozen embryo has not been fertilized by male sperm..."

I think you must be thinking frozen eggs, not embryos...because the latter is most certainly fertilized and has developed beyond the zygote stage.
