Right now, NY law doesn’t give someone who chose to drink the same protections as someone who was drugged without their consent. It’s called the “voluntary intoxication” loophole — and we think it's disgusting. Drinking is NOT consent. Tell NY leaders to take urgent action to close the loophole.

The US continues to have one of the highest maternal death rates among high-income countries, and the situation is getting worse. Behind this trend is a growing body of research showing that state abortion bans directly contribute to increased maternal mortality.

People living in states that have banned abortion are nearly twice as likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or soon after compared with those in states where abortion remains legal and accessible.

Savannah is asking that we contact the chief medical officer of the hospital where she is being held. His name is Ben Travis and you can reach him at ben.travis@nhs.net Template to copy/paste in the alt of this pic

Dear Mr Travis,

I’m writing to you with concern for a patient who is rapidly deteriorating in your care at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) patient Savannah Victora-May has been an inpatient with you since March 2025.

After eleven months her condition has only continued to worsen, she now needs to transfer to an a safer environment.

Unfortunately, there have been multiple cases like Savannah’s where hospitals without knowledge of how to treat severe ME patients, have caused significant and sometimes life-threatening declines. This was the case with 27-year-old severe ME patient Maeve Boothby O’Neill – who tragically died in 2021 as a direct result of inadequate care by Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

Firstly, we ask that you urgently restore her intravenous fluids. If you do not take immediate action on this, Savannah will be at real risk of death.

Savannah wishes to move to a hospice where palliative-trained staff will be equipped to stabilise her. Given this, I am writing to urge Queen Elizabeth Hospital to take steps to arrange her safe and urgent transfer into a hospice before her condition declines any further.

We also urge the hospital to engage with advice from ME experts and read the up-to-date internationally-recognised guidance medical guidance on safe care for people with Severe ME that has been shared with her doctor, and train staff accordingly. Members of Savannah’s multi-disciplinary team have a duty to engage with this information.

Most importantly, please acknowledge that as the patient, Savannah is the expert in her own condition. And therefore, I ask that your staff respect her agency to refuse treatments where she knows they will cause her to deteriorate further and actively listen to her when she communicates the care she needs.

Yours sincerely,

096
