Section 309 is the one you are claiming was lied about.... but was it?
As the Bill currently stands....
21 ‘‘§ 309. Treatment of abortions related to rape, incest,
22 or preserving the life of the mother
23 ‘‘The limitations established in sections 301, 302, 303,
24 and 304 shall not apply to an abortion—
1 ‘‘(1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of
2 rape or incest; or
3 ‘‘(2) in the case where a woman suffers from a
4 physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness
5 that would, as certified by a physician, place the
6 woman in danger of death unless an abortion is per
7formed, including a life-endangering physical condi
8tion caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

Now, that is how it is being proposed.... however, the original bill stated this as section 309...
10 ‘‘SEC. 309. TREATMENT OF ABORTIONS RELATED TO RAPE,
11 INCEST, OR PRESERVING THE LIFE OF THE
12 MOTHER.
13 ‘‘The limitations established in sections 301, 302,
14 303, and 304 shall not apply to an abortion—
15 ‘‘(1) if the pregnancy occurred because the
16 pregnant female was the subject of an act of forcible
17 rape or, if a minor, an act of incest; or
18 ‘‘(2) in the case where the pregnant female suf
19fers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or
20 physical illness that would, as certified by a physi
21cian, place the pregnant female in danger of death
22 unless an abortion is performed, including a life-en
23dangering physical condition caused by or arising
24 from the pregnancy itself.

1 . No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (Introduced in House - IH)[H.R.3.IH][PDF]
2 . No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (Reported in House - RH)[H.R.3.RH][PDF]
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.3:
There is a huge difference in wording there. Certainly seems like, for federal funding, the definition of rape was being redefined. It also seems that a child who was not a victim of incest, or forcibly raped, would have no recourse if her parents didnt have enough money to pay for the abortion. The text of the bill did not take into consideration drugs.
Now, when did the change do into effect? ABC reported Jan 30th, 2011. The Bill itself was introduced on Jan 20th. It did not come out of committee until March 17th.
On this, sorry to say, the Jones site was correct.
