I don't think it's wrong.
If you have a successful blog that people are following, does it matter if it's true? I think most personal blogs contain an element of exaggeration or expansion of the truth to make it more interesting. I mean really, how many people write a personal blog that you aren't related to that is interesting? Most real lives aren't worth blogging. I mean my sister in law writes a blog about her 3 year old daughter. I have to confess, I don't really care what the daughter said while tinkling after removing her Dora the Explorer panties. Ugh.
Maybe if all the followers weren't anti-abortion zealots they would not have gotten hung up in the story.
But it is a story in the end. If you follow a personal blog, you have to take what you read with a grain of salt.
It may not have been a nice thing to do, but I don't think it's necessarily "wrong".
