    Neil Noesen Case Summary

    • 3 Pages

    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.

The district manager knew Noesen would not dispense contraceptives, but was not aware that he wouldn’t at least transfer the prescription. In this situation, the issue revolves around the woman’s right to have access to birth control, and Noesen’s right to exercise his religious freedom.…
