If your question is, 'would there be a religious exemption to the use of federal tax money drawn from religiously observant taxpayers (i.e., the Hobby Lobby decision) in order to bankroll health care services, such as abortion?'

I don't know the answer to that, but whatever applies with regard to tax laws, case law, IRS rules, etc. as they impact religious conscientious objectors in other areas, those same things would apply here.
