The pressure is rising on NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian after two Liberal MPs threatened to move to the NSW crossbench over her government's handling of abortion decriminalisation.

Tanya Davies, a vocal critic of the bill, told a public hearing on Monday that she and another MP had told the Premier they would "disconnect ourselves" from her government unless major changes are made.
