Sadiq Khan calls on TfL to lift ban on abortion ad campaign
Briefly

Sadiq Khan has initiated a call to review Transport for London's (TfL) recent decision to ban advertisements on the London Underground that promote the decriminalisation of abortion. This action followed TfL's refusal to allow ads from BPAS, which sought to encourage public lobbying of MPs for legislative change. The ads were deemed capable of bringing disrepute to city management, despite previously allowing similar pro-choice messages. BPAS criticized TfL, asserting that the ban silences important women's stories amidst an impending parliamentary vote on abortion laws.
The decision to ban pro-decriminalisation adverts on the Underground by TfL raises concerns over whose voices are being heard in the political debate surrounding abortion.
Sadiq Khan is seeking an urgent review of TfL’s decision, emphasizing the importance of women's voices in the ongoing debate about abortion law in the UK.
