A policy instituted by mandate on January 20, 2012, normally known as the "HHS" mandate, requires all health plans to provide Abortion, Contraceptives, and sterilization services to all in employment.
The religious exemption present here covers "religious employers" only. Religious employers are exempt only if their purpose is to inculcate religious doctrine, they hire and serve exclusively people of their own faith, and they qualify as a church or religious order"
Catholic Churches that you see everyday will certainly qualify for this. However, Hospitals, Schools, Charities, etc. will be forced to close or pay against their beliefs.
Most employees at catholic schools, charities, and hospitals receive insurance directly from the Church, and be forced to receive these "benefits"
