“What would Jesus say" - to a woman having an abortion? Now in development, Alison’s Choice is a feature film that seeks to answer this question. The story is as compelling as it is simple: Alison, a teen, is facing an unwanted pregnancy. With a deadbeat boyfriend and nowhere to turn she plans an abortion, and so finds herself in a "clinic," her name about to be called.  Suddenly a man appears. His mop tells her he’s the janitor. The two begin to talk and it quickly becomes clear that this man is no janitor, but Jesus manifest. And He’s come to plead for her baby. 
Alison's Choice is a message film and the message is clear: From the heart of God to every woman who identifies with Alison, "I love you, and I want your baby to live."
The screenplay is written and filming is targeted for January 2015.

Transcending the decades-long discussion surrounding the legality of abortion is the heart of God for those who are yet unborn.  The producers would humbly submit that as the One who ordains life, God's desire is for these little ones to be granted life.  Still, statistics show (below) that thousands are "terminated” every day in the US alone.  Through a compelling drama brought to the screen in cinematic excellence, Alison’s Choice seeks to reach the hearts of struggling mothers with the love of God - for both them and for their little one.

• In the 40 years since Roe v. Wade was passed, according to the NRLC, which analyzed data from the CDC and the Guttmacher Institute, over 52 million abortions have been performed in the US. 

• Approximately 1.21 million abortions are performed in the US each year.

• The US has the highest abortion rate (19.4 per 1,000) of any western nation.

• So far, in 2014, approximately 835,000 abortions have been performed in the US - and that number climbs by the minute (numberofabortions.com)
