Chuck C. Johnson Claims He Totally Saw an Abortion One Time

Noted trollblogger Chuck C. Johnson does and says a lot of weird stuff, and, in truth, Gawker Media of late has probably given him too much of the attention he obviously craves. But this one’s too strange to pass over: last night on Twitter, Johnson claimed he became pro-life after a med school friend let him watch an abortion procedure.
