One of the Queensland opposition MPs who voted in favour of laws to decriminalise abortion says she doesn't fear a backlash from her party over the decision.
Abortion was removed from Queensland's criminal code and made a health issue through a vote in state parliament on Wednesday.
The changes were passed 50 votes to 41 after both the government and opposition gave their members a conscience vote on the issue.
Opposition MPs Steve Minnikin, Jann Stuckey and former opposition leader Tim Nicholls voted in favour of the changes.
Ahead of the debate this week it was revealed the LNP Pine Rivers state electorate council emailed MPs warning them they faced preselection challenges if they voted for the legislation.

Ms Stuckey, who is the Member for Currumbin, said she was not worried about a backlash or preselection challenge.
"I've had nothing but support. I had dinner with Deb Frecklington and a number of my colleagues last night and I feel very much that the conscience vote is being respected," Ms Stuckey said on Thursday.
It follows reports last month LNP President Gary Spence had warned MPs they could face preselection challenges if they voted for the changes.
Labor MP Linus Power abstained from the final vote, while maverick Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller voted against the changes, saying she'd made her views on the issue clear for "decades".
Anti-abortion campaigners claimed ahead of the vote that Deputy Premier Jackie Trad had offered MPs future cabinet spots in exchange for their support of the laws, which Ms Trad strongly rejected.
"That is a ridiculous suggestion, that is the absolute privilege and obligation of the premier," Ms Trad said on Wednesday.
Under the changes, women will be able to terminate pregnancies up to 22 weeks' gestation.
Terminations after 22 weeks will be allowed with the approval of two independent doctors.
The changes also establish safe zones around clinics and medical facilities offering the procedure to stop staff and patients being harassed by anti-abortion activists.
