Katter party MPs say they'll vote against a bill to decriminalise abortion in Queensland and will lobby other parliamentarians to do the same.

Katter's Australian Party state leader Robbie Katter and colleagues Shane Knuth and Nick Dametto say human life is sacrosanct and they'll oppose the Labor government's bill.

"We will be opposing Labor's attempt to weaken the laws and doing everything we can to lobby other MPs, both LNP and Labor, to be vocal in their opposition," Mr Katter has told The Courier-Mail.
