UNDATED (CNN) - It's the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

Even after all these years, it's still a bitter fight. In fact, anti-abortion groups are now harnessing the power of celebrity to sell their cause.

Pressured, as a single mom, to have an abortion, Pattie Mallette says she refused, and a star was born. Mallette is the mother of young pop sensation Justin Bieber.

Today, Mallette is pushing the anti-abortion message and she's doing it in a way that some say it quite effective.

She's hoping to raise $10 million to fight abortion through a movie she produced called "Crescendo."
