Remember when Obama was forcing Religious groups to do something they didn't want to do. Turns out they been doing it for at least a decade.

But even as Cardinal Dolan insists that requiring some religiously affiliated employers to pay for contraception services would be an unprecedented, and intolerable, government intrusion on religious liberty, the archdiocese he heads has quietly been paying for such coverage, albeit reluctantly and indirectly, for thousands of its unionized employees for over a decade.
The Archdiocese of New York has previously acknowledged that some local Catholic institutions offer health insurance plans that include contraceptive drugs to comply with state law; now, it is also acknowledging that the archdioceses own money is used to pay for a union health plan that covers contraception and even abortion for workers at its affiliated nursing homes and clinics.
We provide the services under protest, said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York.
