Justin Bieber's mom is getting political -- by putting up the cash for a pro-life film that she's taking to theaters around the country.

Patti Mallette says she hopes that Crescendo, which will screen in about 100 theaters starting February 28th, 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."

Mallette, who gave birth to Justin when she was a teenager, has said that she considered having an abortion, but decided to carry her baby to term.
