Women face a lot of dilemmas when it comes to unplanned pregnancies, and some feel so burdened about it that they assume abortion is the best answer.

The pro-life movie "Alison's Choice" disproves that view. The story follows a girl named Alison who finds herself pregnant. She schedules an appointment at an abortion facility, only to come face-to-face with Jesus, who has taken the form of a janitor at the clinic.

"I love you, Alison, and I love your baby too..." Jesus tells the troubled young girl.

The role of Jesus is played by Bruce Marchiano, who already portrayed Jesus in the film "The Gospel of Matthew." The actor-slash-producer-slash-screenwriter said he is very grateful for the film because it is already saving the lives of many unborn babies.

"One of the crew came to me and said he was always pro-abortion, but after seeing some of the scenes being filmed he realised he was wrong," he shared with Life Site News. "One of our donors was telling his teen brother about the movie. He had no idea the brother's girlfriend was pregnant and planning abortion. That discussion saved that baby's life."

Even their Academy Award-winning editor Scott Conrad (of "Rocky" fame) agreed to do the movie for a fraction of his usual fee because "it's my chance to save a baby's life."

"In the few screenings we've had – several women have come and told me their 'stories' and how the movie impacted them. I remember in one screening, a woman wept aloud for the longest time. Lord only knows what was going on in her heart. So we haven't even begun yet, and by the Lord's hand, the work has already begun. I can't tell you what that means to me," added Marchiano.
