Listen Later

Tonight features  a panel discussion with 3 individuals on the frontlines of the current abortion rights crisis: Dr. Jessica L. Rubino, M.D, an abortion provider in Austin Texas will be discussing the changes in how reproductive services are performed in Texas since the passing of the "heartbeat bill," Samantha McGuire, the National Field Director for American Atheists will be discussing activism and the legislative battle for women's reproductive rights, and Tina Marshall, founder of the Black Abortion Defense League (BADL), will be sharing about her work on the frontlines as a "clinic defender." 

Panel members:  

Dr. Jessica Rubino, M.D. graduated from the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in 2012 and is a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician in Austin Texas, first and second-trimester abortion provider, a former Fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, and a fierce reproductive justice advocate. She provides comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care and believes that every patient across the gender spectrum, deserves that comprehensive care.  

Samantha McGuire serves as the American Atheists’ National Field Director, working with local grassroots activists, volunteers, and affiliates to help them engage on emerging local civil rights issues, advocate for state-level legislation, and build thriving communities. Samantha was a recent panelist on the discussion “The Christian Right Attack on Abortion and Reproductive Justice and What We Can Do About It” at the 2022 American Atheist National Convention in April. Sam previously served as a volunteer regional director for American Atheists overseeing local activism in the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area, earning her the Atheist Activist of the Year award in 2019. Samantha holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Neuropsychology from the University of Massachusetts and a Master’s of Science in Counseling from Johns Hopkins.   

Tina Marshall is the lead organizer of Black Nonbelievers of Charlotte. A native of Sacramento, CA, she lived and worked in San Francisco and New York City until settling down in Charlotte, NC. There, she was a founding member of Sunday Assembly Charlotte, and in 2015, established the Charlotte affiliate of Black Nonbelievers. She is the founder of BADL, the Black Abortion Defense League. Tina works closely with Atheists Helping the Homeless Charlotte, which sets up monthly giveaways of meals, clothes, and toiletries to people experiencing homelessness. She is active in racial justice, providing bail, legal support, and supplies for arrested protesters, and volunteers with her local Democratic Party.
