We STILL can't believe that Justin Bieber was very close to never coming into this world, because his mother, Pattie Mallette, very much considered having an abortion when the then-teenager discovered she was pregnant with him!

But obviously, she changed her mind at the last minute, and has since used her son's worldwide fame as a platform to speak out on behalf of the pro-life movement with her memoir, Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom, which chronicled the addiction and abuse that led to her teenage pregnancy…and now, she's taking the message to the big screen!

According to new reports, Mallette served as an executive producer for an anti-abortion short film called Crescendo, which will be released February 28th with the proceeds going to pregnancy centers!

As she says in statement:

Besides MTV, Lifetime is second in line in teen pregnancy content.

On the heels of last year's original movie Pregnancy Pact, the network has greenlighted another original movie called The Pregnancy Project.

The movie, which will star Spy Kids' Alexa Vega, is based on the true story of 17-year-old high school student Gaby Rodriguez who pretended to be pregnant as an experiment on social stereotypes and the treatment of pregnant teens in high school!

Oooh, how interesting!

The movie will be written by Teena Booth, who also co-wrote Pregnancy Pact.

Not gonna lie, we fully enjoyed The Pregnancy Pact so we're looking forward to another teen drama on Lifetime.

Count us in!
