LOS ANGELES Justin Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, is an executive producer on an upcoming anti-abortion short film.

The makers of "Crescendo" hope to raise $10 million for pregnancy centers at screenings worldwide starting Feb. 28. Mallette herself will appear at some of these, said production company Movie to Movement on Friday.

The pop star's mother has written and spoken extensively about the addiction and abuse that led to her teenage pregnancy.

Mallette said in a statement she hopes her involvement with "Crescendo" will "encourage young women all over the world, just like me, to let them know that there is a place to go, people who will take care of you and a safe home to live in if you are pregnant and think you have nowhere else to turn."

The film encourages pregnant women to seek help rather than have an abortion. Even for the most strident pro-abortionist, calling this kind of outreach "anti-abortion" misses the mark. It is pro-life.

Abortion is savage.

She and other anti-abortionish should mind their own business. It is a personal 'choise' to have/not have one. Those against it, DON'T!

BTW, I would choose not to have an abortion, but that would be MY choise.

This will not play out well in the "media" , must be time to hide something else while this gets attention.

oh please....fox media is airing it, so it must be newsworthy

[chwick]

she forgot to make an anti-war video.....oh maybe she didn't after all.

You don't want an abortion, don't have one! Otherwise it is a mind your own business situation. Try caring more for the children that are already here and suffering and caring less for embryos and fetuses.......... Until ALL life is sacred, human lives should not be treated as anything better than any other lives. Humanity is an infestation on the planet.

I wholeheartedly agree
