It applies to the church itself. It is forcing the church to pay for things they do not support ideologically.
It's crossing the separation of church and state line that the lefties whine about all the time when they are "forced" to flip past a channel with a preacher on it, or when they are "forced" to listen to a politician state anything about his faith.
The Church itself is exempt.
The Catholic church chose to start businesses in the US. The first requirement of running a business in the US is compliance with US business/labor/commerce law.
btw, the 'church' in running these businesses, is already accepting the fact that they are paying for contraception and abortions when they give employees a paycheck. They can't control how the paycheck is spent.
