Terri Butler MP has commended the Palaszczuk government for today's decision to accept the Queensland Law Reform Commission's report on abortion decriminalisation.

"It is well past time that these 19th century laws, criminalising abortion, be removed from the statute books," Terri Butler said.

"I urge each member of the Queensland parliament to favourably consider the Law Reform Commission's report, and to support the Palaszczuk's proposed legislation," she said.
