White Ribbon rejects Qld MP's link

White Ribbon has distanced itself from a Queensland MP who linked himself to the domestic violence organisation while promoting anti-abortion views.

The Liberal National Party's Cleveland MP Mark Robinson last week referred to himself as a "White Ribbon man" in a Facebook post discussing a bill from independent MP Rob Pyne's bill to decriminalise abortion in Queensland.

Mr Robinson said he pledged to never ignore domestic violence, saying that he could not support the proposed reform because it "removes protections for women against violent partners who are forcing them to abort the babies they want to keep".

White Ribbon this week rejected any link to the MP and clarified it supports a woman's "fundamental human right" to choose.

"Mark Robinson is not and never has been a White Ribbon Ambassador," the group said.

"He refers to himself as a 'White Ribbon man' but any man associated with us should support a woman's right to have choice over the decisions that relate to her body and reproductive rights, especially if she is a victim of violence."

Mr Robinson later said he had been a "White Ribbon man" for years and fully supported the organisation's goals.

He later replaced the word "man" with "advocate" in his Facebook reply.

"I have never used the term ambassador - as that is a different level of involvement with WRA," he said.

"I have signed the pledge that men are encouraged to sign."

Mr Pyne's bill, which was introduced in May, is before a parliamentary committee.

He deliberately excluded a gestational limit so that medical experts could be consulted.
