The Queensland parliamentary committee is considering laws to decriminalise abortion and will hold a public hearing in Brisbane today, after emotional hearings in Townsville and Cairns earlier in the week.

The Brisbane hearing is expected to hear from pro-life group Cherish Life Queensland, as well as the Australian Medical Association Queensland and the Queensland Law Society.

The committee is due to report back to the government by October 5, with laws expected to be debated in state parliament later that month.
