    In the 2002 Neil Noesen case, a woman in Wisconsin went to fill her prescription at a local K-Mart, only to be refused by the only pharmacist on duty at the time, Neil Noesen, because the aforementioned pharmacist was a strict Roman Catholic, and it would be against his principles to give someone contraceptives.

    Following the groundbreaking and overwhelmingly momentous Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the “separate but equal” policy was officially held unconstitutional. While many celebrated the decision as a testament to upholding racial equality, Southern white nationalists were not so thrilled with the decision.
