TfL blocks ads calling on people to lobby MPs to decriminalise abortion

London transport body says allowing Bpas adverts on its network could bring police and City Hall into disrepute

Transport for London has blocked adverts that urge people to lobby their MPs to vote to decriminalise abortion from running on its network because it claims they could bring the police and City Hall into disrepute.

Parliament is expected to vote on whether to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales in the coming weeks, with amendments tabled to the criminal justice bill seeking to change the law.
